I say "sort of" because the iPad's touchscreen imposes some odd compromises at times. Between using the touchscreeen with my fingers and typing on Apple's smart keyboard folio case, making edits still feels like performing surgery with mittens on. That became more apparent when I tried things cutting and pasting sections or adding links. The beta also seemed to bog down a bit, freezing up on large pages (or my company's CMS tools, when I tried formatting a story). I gave up and went to a Chromebook midway.
At the risk of brutalizing a dead horse, I still deeply dislike the interactions introduced with iOS 11. Swipe up to get to your task manager, swipe down from the top to reveal the Lock screen/Notification Center (which I still hate). Swipe down slightly differently to reveal the Control Center. It's a mess, and one that I am still tripping over. Perhaps this has more to do with my slow, inevitable transformation into a stodgy, hate-filled technology journalist, trapped in the past and dripping with disdain for anything even slightly different than what I am used to. But it still feels very inelegant and un-Apple, even a year after these changes were introduced.
Hands-on with Apple’s new iPadOS public beta feels like the beginning of a transformation
