FaceBook Messenger just got SlideOver probably also SplitView in the latest update. That's really nice.
It's odd that they don't mention it in their description. I saw an update on my iPhone. I will try it out tonight on my iPad mini2.
I've added also Pixelmator, 1Writer and Screenshot++ to the start post.

I've added some more apps to the topic start post:
uSurf Universal - internet browser : Slide Over / Split View
Soundrocket for SoundCloud: Slide Over / Split View
File Manager by Mousavian: Slide Over / Split View, Spotlight
FileMaker Go 14: Slide Over / Split View
Skype for iPad: Slide Over / Split View
I also found a few great apps that also have a split view option (left/right and/or top/bottom) which also works great on non iPad Air 2 and iPad mini4 and iPhones. Please note that these apps do not use the Split view option which Apple build in since iOS9. These are simply apps which have two browser windows next to each other. I haven't tried YouTube videos yet within such a browser to see if you can also have a PiP window aside from the two browsers on e.g. an iPad mini2.
Here are those browsers:
uSurf Universal (free) | requires iOS8 or later
Split Screen Browser (free) | requires iOS7 or later
Split Web Browser (free) | requires iOS6 or later
Browse and Tube / Browse and Tube Free | requires iOS4.3 or later

It's strange seeing so many small apps being updated with these features, and yet most of the biggest apps in the world still haven't added split/screen and PIP features. Facebook, Youtube, Watch ESPN, HBO Go, CNN, etc.
Some more apps seem to have Slide over / Split View and other iOS9 feature support.
BeWeather 2 (paid version only) - Slide over / Split View support (wasn't mentioned in update)
Digg - Slide over / Split View (wasn't mentioned in update)
Documents Free: Spotlight, 3D Touch (Quick Actions
Day One: 3D Touch (Quick Actions)
WhatsApp: 3D Touch (Peek and Pop, Quick Actions), Quick Reply (only works in iOS9.1 - currently in beta)

Another few apps which got the update:
Hyper: Best Daily Videos: Picture in Picture (PiP) - must have video app for iPad in my opinion! - you have to press the home button to get PiP (so works different then in other video apps).
RTLXL: Picture in Picture (PiP) - Only possible with paid subscription (Dutch commercial tv station)
Google Translate: Slide Over / Split View
IMDb Movies and TV: 3D Touch (Peek and Pop)
The Huffington Post: Slide Over / Split View

The Twitch TV gaming app has been updated for Split/Screen and PIP features on iPad.
They need an option to turn off apps you don't want in split view on the drop down list
I see no one else talking about this

Absolutely 100% agree. It's getting ridiculous. I only want too see the apps in actually gonna use in split.
Certainly some people have brought it up, just doesn't seem the discussion gets far since it's up to Apple to do something about it in some fashion (if they even decide to):
