I quite like wide screens for programming, I just have two panes of code side by side.

  I have two panes of code side by side on a 15" 1600x1200 laptop. I've used 15.4" 1680x1050 laptops for programming and find them to be worse. I imagine 15.6" 1600x900 or 1920x1080 would be worse still. Maybe the wider format works better in the 13" size, but at 15" it gains me nothing I want at a loss of valuable height.

    For the same width you get a smaller device, as long as you find the height acceptable. I tend to like that at both 13" and 15".

      For the same height, you get a larger device. Either way, we're stating the obvious: if the advantages outweigh the disadvantages for you, it's a good trade. If they don't, it's not.
