2 monitors is the only way for me. I could never go back to just one, unless the software could split it in half for me.

I prefer to use Linux with Xmonad, where any virtual desktop can be displayed on either monitor at any time. So I don't really think of any monitor as my primary one.

Lately I've been forced to use Windows for work, where I use Win+Left/Right to make a window take up 100% of vertical and 50% of horizontal space of a monitor. With two monitors this means 25% of total horizontal space, which is perfect. With one monitor... FML

I think 2 is an artifact of back when monitors were tiny and you had to do it to fit all your stuff up at once.

Been in club 1 good monitor with virtual desktops for 4 years now and no going back. No giant bar in the middle of my view. No neck strain going left to right. Just plenty of screen and a nice layout.

As I already explained, fitting all my stuff at once has nothing to do with it.
