If design was just about letting the user get things done, can we conclude that iPad is terribly designed? I can do almost nothing productive on it.

Getting things done and productivity are not the same.

If the thing I want to get done is watching a movie while I'm on a train then the iPad works well.

If I want to edit some code then a laptop is better.

Sorry for confusing watching movies with getting things done
