What world do you live in? The iOS App Store is probably the most full fledged and populated app ecosystem there is.

And yet none of the software GP mentioned are available on it.

No, iPads have been around for more than a decade.

Are you referring to IDEs? The iPad is not a productive machine. It’s for consumption. The VisionOS is for productivity which is very different from anything on iOS so I imagine it’s going to be available on it.

My point exactly, i'm going to be hard pressed to drop 3.5k on a ipad strapped to my face. If it can't replace my macbook why would I bother?

It has the exact same app review guidelines as iOS and iPadOS. If you can't put it on those, you can't put it on VisionOS.

I don't see why you couldn't port an IDE to ipad os.. filesystem is a bit tricky with the way icloud files work.. but otherwise it's just a thing.

I think mostly people don't (for high end IDEs) because they expect a keyboard and pointing device that isn't a touchscreen and those are faily rare per ipads sold.

The ipad pro certainly is seeing some more beefy productivity apps it seems.

That's not how Apple advertises iPad Pro.

IntelliJ, GoLand etc are Java apps.

Windows, BeOS and Commodore 64 apps also don't run natively on the iPad or Vision Pro.
