And filling a 30" screen with 200 character code lines because 80 character limits were only for the 800x600 days isn't good utilization either.

  Thus you display multiple source files next to each other, or maybe some metadata. More screens should mean more relevant information.

    I'd typically rather have more information about the file I'm currently working on rather than a bunch of different files open. When I'm using a text editor I'll want multiple text windows, but that's because navigation between files is much harder in that environment.

      One can also have multiple views on one file (at least Emacs can) which is another good for having multiple buffers side-by-side instead of one single buffer.
