At the end of the day, this is optional and hidden by default.

Compared to command + tab or exposé, this approach is more visual and direct, which seems to be a better fit for a form factor that offers much more screen real estate.

I guess this is the cost Apple is willing to pay to ease mac and ipad users into reality OS.

Stage manager doesn't look to me like a replacement for cmd+tab or exposé, but rather a more obvious and in your face replacement for Spaces (multiple desktops).

Still a little confused with Stage Manager, but thinking about it as a replacement/enhancement for Spaces makes it seem a lot more interesting and useful.

Even though Spaces is an awesome idea, I find it very inconvenient to use even with 4-finger swiping. Perhaps it's the lack of visual cues that is the issue for me. And I find that most of the left/right real-estate on my screen wasted anyways, so this might be something I can actually use.

Yeah it won't hurt me because it will probably get ignored like many other window management options on the macOS. In the end of the day, it is just slightly more intuitive virtual desktop with continuity.

I would pay for fancyzones on macOS
