I used to use the exact opposite. Wide, Tall, Wide. Left was browser (with tree style tabs to the side), middle was Emacs, and right was everything else (mostly terminals). Having a tall code editor was nice as it provides more context in a file. And with a maximum of 120 columns per line, width was not an issue. But having Emacs on a wide monitor allows me to edit two files side to side, which I ended up preferring (one above another is not as nice). I just use two wide monitors now.
