I fear this battle is already lost, though. Lots of IDEs expect wide screens and place plenty of tabs on the side of the code window. On a laptop, it probably sucks, but on a desktop, you can just have a widescreen monitor that's taller and wider (physically and in resolution) than the 4:3 of old, so you basically have a 4:3 code window with a bunch of toolbars on the sides.

On a desktop, you can fairly easily obtain displays that will fill your entire field of view, so the aspect ratio doesn't matter so much. When it comes to laptops, there's much more of an optimization problem; it therefore seems strange to me that there's so little variety on the market, as different users certainly have different needs.
