Why a 3:2 display? That is an extremely odd choice. I used 4:3 displays for years, and was very pleased when wider displays became available.

I love 3:2 displays. They're wider than 4:3 but maintain the vertical height necessary to see a bunch of code onscreen. If I only get one display (for portable use), I'll pick 3:2 every day.

Why not? Microsoft Surface devices also have a 3:2 display. Personally I love 3:2 displays as vertical space makes for a far more pleasant experience programming and reading.

Yep! The better experience for writing and coding with more vertical real estate is why we chose it. It also gave us a better form factor to work with for enabling our Expansion Card system.

The trend is going that way again. 16:10/3:2 is becoming very common again and that's great! The extra screen real estate is very useful and the body can accomodate a bigger touchpad. 16:9 limts vertical space a little too much imo.

3:2 is great for coding. I've just started using 3:2 Zenbook S UX393 3300x2200 and that screen ratio is phenomenal!
