I prefer one widescreen next to one widescreen turned vertical. this way I can
view plenty of code on the vertical monitor, and yet enjoy the benefits that
the widescreen monitor brings.

For virtually any activity I would do while sitting down at a
computer/workstation, I think wide screens have a much more natural fit to a
person's eyesight. I think they're just more comfortable to look at.

On the other hand, I can definitely see a reason for vertically oriented
screens in eBook readers and some hand-helds. I can't think of a time when I
would rather have a more square screen.

I prefer widescreen, with windows tiled horizontally as well on my mac. I use
terminal with visor (google blacktree) which is sweet, and then a bunch of
different spaces - coding w/ textmate for ROR dev.

Why isn't this a poll question?

Widescreen 22" + Macbook screen. Textmate for some things, but Xcode and its
(many) requisite windows for iPhone stuffs.

 For about any natural process I would do while sit down down at a 
 computer / workstation, I think wide screens have a much more lifelike fit to a 
 person's eyesight. I think they're just more comfortable to front at. 

 On the other hand, I can decidedly see a cause for vertically oriented 
 screen in eBook readers and some hand - helds. I can't think of a meter when I
