It never seems like any solution comes close to the ergonomics of having two screens.

  I'm a bit weird on this front but years of working in coffee shops, co-working spaces, etc. have trained me out of relying on more than just the screen that comes with my laptop. I don't have a fixed office that I go to every day and I actually prefer it that way. The big advantage is that I can just sit down anywhere with my laptop and have everything that I need to be productive. It's gotten to the point where it's just confusing to me to have multiple screens on the rare occasion I plug one in. I'm constantly look at the wrong screen and usually I just end up unplugging the external screen because it's just easier for me. Another factor is that most screens are kind of underwhelming in terms of contrast, resolution and colors relative to what comes with a mac book. They aren't very pleasing to look at and most offices seem to settle for cheap Dell 2K screens or something similarly dreary. Ergonomically, I like laptops and not having to get a neck cramp looking up at some screen. I use my laptop on my lap quit often. Couches are great for that. Mostly I use applications maximized and just alt+tab between them as needed. Because of the notch, using applications full screen is kind of pointless. Effectively the space around the notch is only usable for the menu. So, the choice is really whether you want a menu or not. In my case, the answer is yes I want the menu there. Full screen is one of those features that became an anti-feature. Apple should just get rid of that. So these new features are wasted on me. I don't see why I would want to split the screen between two apps. I only use one at the time mostly.
