I've used multiple monitors for years. They keys are: * virtual desktops. This keeps each desktop simple and clean * keyboard shortcuts to switch between desktops. This makes the cost of switching near-zero * one monitor is used 90% of the time for 90% of the work. * the second monitor is used for critical situations when virtual desktops don't work: more documents than will fit on the first one, writing articles (main) versus research (secondary) With that workflow, I don't miss it working from a laptop. But it is useful for when I need it.
