I'm trying to like Stage Manager, but I think it needs some work. It's really missing the ability to name the 'stages' and add apps to them by hand, rather than dragging one out of the stage to add that one to the existing one.
Ie, I use some work apps daily, and I have them split across my screen. I use Edge (because Safari seems trash with most of our work web pages), Slack, Teams (hopefully not for long!), Outlook, terminal and some others I've probably forgotten about. I have them set up all nicely and what I do now is use virtual desktops to move to my personal apps, such as WhatsApp, Messages, Mail, Safari etc. I have a few desktops set up for personal, work, documentation, coding etc. I thought I'd quickly be able to switch between what I want with Stage Manager but it looks as if virtual desktops are still king for this.
Maybe it's more focussed on iPad OS or casual users, or people with small screens, but for people like me with millions of apps running and a huge monitor I don't think it works that well. Unless I'm missing something? It seems like it's trying to fix a problem that doesn't exist.
Also CMD + Z in Safari now opens a closed tab rather than undo in certain situations, what the actual **** is that about?
