Just too clunky to have to save work, close the program, open another program etc. vs. just switching between windows.

I dont think it would be too clunky as firstly you wouldnt have to 'save' as the apps remember where you were they basically sleep rather than close.
If you then sat the apps next to each other on home screen you could say be typing a doc - press home button - tap safari - copy a quote - press home - press doc app and paste.
ina traditional OS you would have to do typing doc - press alt and tab(or use mouse) - copy text - alt tab - paste text
So only 1 action more on iPad, whilst i Agree it may not be perfect but its maybe not as bad as some may think.
