That's funny, I can't imagine being tethered to a single spot and accomplishing anything worthwhile!
Snark aside, I love big monitors as much as the next guy, but I've seen very productive developers that never even maximized their code window, let alone used multiple screens.
Getting in the flow is way more important than having a nice setup.
Portability is important to me too. Our business continuity plan accounts for disaster scenarios. My development machine is a laptop (17") with 24" monitor and another machine with 24" monitor all using one keyboard.
Maybe it's the type of work that I'm doing is very technical but there's no way I could actually do this much work on a small screen.
