I think this is a very specific example of trying to learn HTML/CSS and copying a website. For someone trying to learn Python or C or Java might not require such a huge monitor.

Also, for compiled languages, coding may not be a reactive process.

I agree. Working on iOS – which is written in a typed language, then compiled and deployed to a simulator that automatically takes the frontmost window position – I've never had a problem working on just a laptop. But now that I'm foraying more into CSS, a second monitor might be nice.
