I use it for nearly everything, it's simply the most convenient and fast computer device I own and I have far too many. Examples:
-- Art: Apple pencil and procreate are the best drawing platform on the market IMO, clips studio on iPad is really close. I'm not a professional but I have tried and owned Wacom's (including cintques) and a Microsoft surface book. The iPad pro's screen and drawing experience is far better IMO.
-- Music: I used to play guitar and still mess around a bit with it, also I've started programming electronic music. Garage Band, DJay Pro 2, and Bias Amp 2 are really amazing pieces of kit. The touch interface for Bias Amp 2 in particular is amazing and feels like using a real guitar amp.
-- Gaming: Card and Board games, Pandemic, Star Realms, Hearthstone, etc.... are absolutely killer on the big 12.9 inch screen. Civ 6 is also an amazing game on the iPad. Along with a ton of AR based games.
-- Reading: iBooks and Kindle
-- Of course all of the standard social media and communications apps. I use the Logitech smart connect keyboard and it's very nice.
-- Software Development: I'm an iOS dev and I use Swift playgrounds on iPad a ton to sketch ideas. When I do webdev I'll often use the iPad with Coda and a remote server and it's a great experience.
Coda's tabbed approach took me a bit to really like but the app is really top notch in quality and functionality. Transmit, prompt(their excellent ssh client), and a really good editor are built into Coda.
