Yeah, I still don't get the point of Stage Manager. My usual home office setup is 2 5K monitors (iMac and Studio Display), and Spaces set up on both, with Split View on some, full screen on the others. I'm experimenting with SM on one of them (things that don't merit full screen or one side of Split View). But it is not a clear improvement over just having them tiled and overlapping each other.

I'm very comfortable with Spaces, except I'd like to tile more than 2 windows sometimes.

There don't seem to be any keyboard shortcuts to switch between the items in Stage Manager.

On iPad Pro 12.9 the benefit seems even more dubious until they add external monitor support. And <11" screens seem too small to sacrifice so much real estate to it.
