I'm in the camp that thinks Apple made a mistake adding multitasking to the iPad. I don't want my iPad to be more PC-like. The changes were significant and iOS is less stable now than it used to be. Even if they get all the bugs ironed out, I'm still a little sad that they clearly want to take the device in that direction.
For similar reasons I thought Microsoft made a big mistake dumping the Windows 7 UI for Metro (or whatever it's actually called).
If I want to do PC-type stuff, I'll do it on my PC. Tablet stuff I'll do on a tablet.
I don't really like the multitasking implementation, and I definitely don't need it. Multitasking was never one of the things standing in the way of my iPad being a PC replacement for me.
