Owning quite a few tablets (all brands, all OSs), I know that of curse.
But I don't consider this "Multi-Tasking".
Basically, you "freeze" an application to the background and operate another one.
But I'd like to operate 2, 3 or 4 apps in parallel.
A basic task, such as copy/paste from a browser window to an email or from one email to another, is a nightmare of inefficiency.
You go back to the email client. But you don't see the last email opened, but the email client without open email. Or you may see the email, but it didn't remember the last position.
On a Windows system, I simply would open another browser session. Having 2 browsers, next to each other. Not 2 tabs, but 2 browsers.
Android definitely is improving rapidly. But, in my opinion, not quite there yet. iOs is miles behind in that regard.
