What do you find problematic about the 16:9 aspect ratio?

  Low verticality and too much width, which sucks when reading long snippets of code which are 84 columns wide.

    I wish more apps had an equivalent to Emacs' follow mode. It spreads narrow content across two (or more) columns. https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Follow-Mode.html https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Fo...

    I use a 21:9 screen and can definitely report that it does not suck. I can now stack 4 snippets of 84 column wide code across my screen instead of one.

      Going column to column doesn't disorient you?

        Not at all. If it's combined with a tiling window manager it is bliss!

  I'm assuming it's that the web is a vertical medium not a horizontal one.
