Hey now, I do "low-level" programming, and you can pry my extra monitors from my cold dead hands!
As much as I love printed materials for reference, unless it came that way, I'm not going to use a ream of my own printer paper for every reference manual or datasheet I have, when I could just have 1 monitor for coding and 1 with all my documentation readily available!

Too convenient (although searching PDFs still kinda sucks in all the viewers I've tried).
