It is now possible to vertically split the screen into two fairly usable areas for two different apps in portrait orientation. It’s also possible to run a web server in a similar fashion without it being terminated quickly. For example, I can now download a video with yt-dlp in a-Shell in the background by shoving its window behind. It makes background tasks possible, albeit limited to three apps confined on a single stage. Portrait or landscape only apps are no longer bounded to the actual device orientation. Those iPhone only apps don’t feel like second class citizens anymore. All apps are launched into windows of sizes the app can support. 
It makes every app device and orientation independent.Stage Manager does bring some compelling advantages over the Split View multi-tasking paradigm. Here are some thoughts as of iPadOS 16 Beta 6. I just used Stage Manager to write my thesis for an entire week. But I decided I should give it a fair chance before dismissing it entirely.
It felt like too much trouble for too little gain.
My initial thoughts when it’s just released was not very positive. I have turned on Stage Manager on my iPad Pro 12.9 for some time without interruptions.
