As an iPad Pro, Apple did a very poor job making it a pro device.
This isn't about the software or the apps, no this is actually about the accessories. As we know, it might be easier to find a unicorn than to find the smart keyboard and pencil for the iPad Pro. Without those two accessories, the iPad Pro is just an iPad XL.
Now that's not to say that the iPad is a bad device; it is not and I really enjoy mine but without the two accessories that separate the work and play sides of the iPad m, it might not be worth it for many people.
And yes I know that there are alternative, like the bulky Logitech Create and other pens and pencils for the iPad but it is not the same we as having the officially accessories, the accessories that Apple has touted as being the reason this is a pro device.
I hope they get their act together soon on this because for now when people ask me if I recommend it, I say no, as it's just an iPad XL until the accessories are widely available.
