Re: multiple monitors better for some (Score 1)

Actually, multiple displays is the only solution for at least one development context. For writing and debugging common code, I see a tiling WM on a big display as in OP as a big advantage. OTOH, for web site styling and development with today's DEs, I see it only being counter-productive. For web styling, one cannot have too many different displays, because too many display-related environmental variables need evaluation. Display sizes out in the wild vary widely, as do device densities, not to mention viewing distances and visual acuities. Behavior, window sizes and text sizes on a Retina display can be vastly different than on a cheap cell phone, iPad, 14" 1024x768 laptop, 17" SXGA, 20" UXGA or 37" HDTV. Far more permutations exist than the few I listed. A web stylist limited to one display or just a few displays with similar characteristics, can't possibly test thoroughly, and thus can't be fully aware of the impact of his effort.
