I can't believe how much in improves my productivity. You may not notice it at first, but when you go back to a single monitor set up it feels like you are missing an arm. I think it was Peopleware that documented a correlation between desk space and programmer productivity. That was back when you spread source code listings and other papers on your desk. I think screen real-estate is the modern equivalent. And having an IDE open on screen, and the program you are writing running on the other = no context switches. So sweet. Get the second monitor.
