a) it's super, super easy to setup, and pretty cheap nowadays
and b) it's just more usable. You don't need to alt-tab between programs, since you always have two windows visible.

Posting my work setup as I spend more time here. At home I tend to sit on the couch with my laptop.
I have my development environment up showing the advantage of dual 24" screens. I can look at 2 classes on the right, and on the left switch between the solution/find/properties/... and beside it errors/source control/find results/call stack/watch window/...  | |

My current setup. Don't mind the shitty desk and surroundings, have to live in a rental house with limited space till new one's built. Hard life.

I agree it's awkward putting tri-monitor setup in landscape unless you use it purely for gaming (excluding racing sims)

it sounds and looks ridiculous, but once you see it in real life and try it for yourself (like many of my friends) it works really well
