I think 2 is an artifact of back when monitors were tiny and you had to do it to fit all your stuff up at once. Been in club 1 good monitor with virtual desktops for 4 years now and no going back. No giant bar in the middle of my view. No neck strain going left to right. Just plenty of screen and a nice layout.
