I never found a use for anything but single app mode on my iPad Pro.

Split View and Slide Over was useful. It used to be really easy to add an additional window/app next to the currently open app. But now it requires fiddling around with resizing windows and arranging them in the right way. Many more steps. I can now open more than 2 apps simultaneously, but more than 2 apps just don't fit the screen of an iPad.

PS: they brought back the option to just drag an app from the dock to enable Split View, but it's still not as smooth as it used to be before 26.

Same here. I much liked split view and slide over. The current features made it such a hassle that I just switched back to single full screen apps.

		With 27 both slide over and Split View are much easier to use, than on 26. So if you didn't try it yet, you should give it a try. Still worse than on 18 though.

Agreed - and I actually went up the 13” iPad Pro this time around specifically because I wanted to see if window management was better on it. It’s not.

		I gave it a try on a 32" 4K monitor with mouse and keyboard for a few hours. To see if I just need to get used to it, and if I'm just too dumb to get it without practicing. I figured out all the quirks and it still sucked. It's also incredible how many window arrangements features they added (long press on the green button, next to the red X to close the window). Most of them are completely useless.
