I've never really cared much about my physical dev environment setup. I've been programming since 1983, professionally since 1996. There are very few systems I haven't used, ranging from a commodore 64 connected to an old blurry black&white TV to Sun workstations and DEC alphas and SGIs to PCs and laptops of every conceivable size and make to multi-monitor setups, trackballs, trackpads, nubs, mice, standing desks, sitting desks, couch, cross-legged on the floor, in an airplane seat, at the kitchen table...
And none of it has ever mattered. As long as I have the software I like and can see what I'm typing or looking up, it's all good. And since most development happens between the ears with the odd short burst of typing, where and how you dump the fruits of your mental labor doesn't make a meaningful enough difference to worry about it.
