This should be titled, "two big screens aren't better that one big screen." I've had multiple desktops with two 21" CRTs, back when that made you a fancy boy, and had considerable improvement in workflow from it. Now, with my 27" Thunderbolt monitor, I can't imagine the frustration of having to turn my head instead of move my eye to change my mind's focus.
This transition was after having done most of my development on a 15" laptop, and re-learning how to be productive without distractions... everyone's mileage will of course vary, so blanket statements are worthless.
- enobrev 12y agoI transitioned from three 19" monitors to two beautiful 27" monitors for about a year. I hated it. Nonetheless, I gave it a worthy shot and allowed myself to get used to it. Turns out, I'm most productive when I have at least three separate contexts, in which a single window (or a couple representative windows) can hold the full screen, without needing to worry about rearranging things. Unfortunately, moving to a single screen of any size is debilitating by a large margin for me these days.
