Just curious if anyone uses it and finds it useful. I cannot find any utility in it but was curious what use scenarios there are out there where it could be handy.

I use it on my iPad all the time because during the day I often have my iPad connected to a 27" monitor, and that extra screen space is nice to have a few windows open.
Using an external KB and trackpad, the iPad generally feels pretty good this way, though Stage Manager does still have quirks, of course. The worst thing being that when you are typing into an input, they put this little language “helper” thing next to the input and it often covers up things you want to see or interact with. It’s terrible. They could easily fix this by putting that little thing at the bottom corner of the screen (which is what they do when you bring up Spotlight). Or destroy it altogether.
I do sometimes wish my iPad mini supported SM, because it would make a great portable computer. I wouldn’t even need it to run two screens. But all it does is blow up the normal display to whatever it’s plugged into, so I end up with enormous apps and huge text. It works in a pinch, but sucks.
Yeah, I’m hoping the next iPad Mini will support this. At that point I would happily replace my laptop with it.
That said, I’d probably miss the full-size keyboard cases of its larger siblings. The iPad lineup never makes choosing one easy haha
