It is truly funny how first people want 4k monitors but when an application actually uses the given size at full, they cry about "oh, it is too wide", and we end up with disgusting design of web pages with ultra-narrow column of content and wide empty (or ads-filled) columns by both sides.

Do you run your IDE with one file 4k fullscreen?

One file full screen is the best. SublimeText searching allows you to remove the file nav bar. Complete freedom and less junk.

When I'm working on some web thing in visual studio, I'll tend to have:

- a web browser

- framework documentation (another browser window)

- two or more code files (split editor panes)

- a separate window for various sidebars

And sometimes more (maybe another editor window), all open at once. Right now, that all gets a bit crowded. Even on a single 4k screen, it would probably end up slightly crowded.

It is as if `max-width` don't even exist. I blame complex chains of third party CSS for breaking everything and making that kind of hint useless.
