Moving from 1024x768 4:3 to 16:9 1900x1200 was an experience and a half. I remember when I only had 256x192 to write code on. Even on the Amiga you'd normally have 320x256 (in PAL land) or at most 640x512 (and a headache from the interlace). By contrast I can take my 1900x1200 laptop anywhere, fit a full eclipse session with windows and tabs everywhere or have multiple word docs side by side, or terminals everywhere. It's endless, and it's incredible. Some people prefer 4:3, some 16:9. I think the author's points on total pixels are valid, but claims about missing height, not so much. And if height is such a concern, move your dock/start bar to the side.
