aside from being really cool i've always wondered how useful this would be. i'd lose whatever window i was flipping through and unless he's using some kvm switch, minimally he's running at least 2 boxes. again, cool to look at... but otherwise what good is it if you can't utilize all of it.

I like it quite a bit...it helps especially when you have 3, 4,5 IDEs open and don't feel like constantly resizing/maximizing them.

The problem that I notice on two monitors already is that I really need focus-follows-mind. I too often forget which monitor / app has the input focus and start typing away in the other.
