I wouldn't call myself a hater, just disappointed. The hardware is incredibly powerful, but it's being held back but an OS that's locked down beyond reason. Maybe they just don't want to cannibalize Mac sales or something.
I thought that too until I turned on the window mode on the new iPadOS. Blech. I gave it a month; I really just didn't want it, even though I thought I did.
I would like a full screen shell that's got a reasonable unix variant underneath it. But I do find other uses for it.
