Totally disagree. I use my iPad 12.9 Pro with Magic Keyboard for almost everything for work and home. Barely use my work laptop. Have trackpad and touch is awesome. I am sure you are in the minority here, but that is why we have choices.
Only if they decide to support that feature; they have to decide if it adds enough value to make the cost worthwhile.
It's your call, don't add the feature if you think it isn't worthwhile and add ones you do; let the market decide if you are right.
Not everyone is destined to be successful in the field of their choice. Life ain't a fairy tale.
Yeah, let's kick indie developers while they're down and only rely on GameLoft, Adobe, and Microsoft for our App Store apps.
No one is saying that; but the market reality is that it is tough to breakthrough with a product as an indie developer. As an indie, you probably realize the challenges you face, as an app store developer, better than I do but from my perspective a few reasons are:
If the alternative is stopping all progress because it makes them sad? By all means.
That's your opinion, but I bet there are a lot of iPad owners who differ with you. Adding trackpad/mouse functionality has moved the iPad closer to being a viable, and in some cases, being a, replacement for a laptop.That is a good thin, and as more developers support it iPads will become even better tools for productive work or user enjoyment. Does it move users away from the tablet paradigm, sure, and more users will expect the functionality to be included in apps; but that is the beauty of a marketplace, consumers get to decide what is useful and vote with their wallet.
