Sometimes is great and sometimes it feels like it gets in the way. Curious how many people use it and how often.

Do you use Universal Control?

The poll answers are very binary!
I have used it (mostly during beta phase), but I don't actively use it now. For me, the thing which made it work great is my corporate email/apps/intranet is all accessible via my iPad (and iPhone), but I can't use my personal PC or MacBook. Universal Control was a way I could seamlessly use my MacBook and KB/M setup to control my iPad and do a few things on my work profile on my iPad without having to get out my work laptop.

I use a Mac Studio with two ultra wide displays and a 16" MBPro with UC. Most times it's great, but I must admit that sometimes I accidentally scroll over to the laptop when I don't mean to and the cursor gets stuck due to the different screen resolutions (I have to move the cursor to the lower portion of the laptop screen in order to scroll back to the main screens).
UC is a handy feature, and the macOS is better off because of it. But it's not without its quirks.

I used to use UC on two Macbooks and an iPad. It was great but I sold away the other MB and I've been using the iPad alone lately.
