It feels like so many of Apple's last decade lead up pretty seamlessly to Vision Pro.
It's not clear whether this product will ultimately matter much, at least in the near future, due to some clunkiness like external battery and lack of obvious utility with some of the experiences they demo'd.
However, it's pretty clear that they have a really consistent strategy — with Apple Silicon at the center.
It feels like an iPad -- a device for consuming, not creating -- with a novel interface. I was initially pleased to see the "move your Mac desktop to the AR interface", but once I realized it was the whole desktop, I was massively annoyed. I want to be able to move all my individual windows into the space as individual windows, not a single unified interface. It feels like it's anathema to the whole AR experience.

I graduated in 1990 in Electrical Engineering and since then I have been in university, doing research in the field of DSP. To me programming is more a tool than a job.

The number of features and technologies that have shown up in the phone, watch and elsewhere over the past number of years, that flow together into the capabiities of the new device - think room-scale LiDAR, hand tracking, Siri (ok eh maybe Siri is a stretch...), handoff, etc etc - they have been building this in the open for some time.

Surely they will eventually support 3D window management on multiple planes.
... and the utility of that? Beside being cool, I mean. I need something more to buy a device with a price tag of several thousands of $$$.
I, personally, work most of the time with one window that takes the whole screen, switching between windows using Alt-Tab.
I was just bouncing thoughts off the other comment.
But I do agree with your points.
