In the end isn't it about maximising the pixel space you have in a way that avoids lots of panning or scrolling, allows you to easily arrange related parts nearby, all while maximising the ability to context switch? I find multiple workspaces works well for large context switches, then within each workspace, maximising pixel space is done with sloppy/mouse focus, partially overlapping windows and the ability to split my text editor windows easily.
