I know the main userbase for dual monitors are for graphics artists, but Im wondering how much of the programmer community uses dual monitors? I imagine that large hi-res wide-screens have solved a lot of problems with screen real estate for programmers, but Im curious what percentage of programmers use dual monitors in their work.

Usually Eclipse and IE 7 nowadays. But yes, in my experience, the only people who get excited about multi-monitor programming are Java code monkeys, because they need it. A second monitor is not an advantage to anyone using real tools.
I use a single monitor at work, but nearly every other developer at my workplace has two or more monitors. Typically a single screen will be dedicated to text editing.

I have 4 monitors, though I rarely even make full use of 2 of them at any given time.
I actually use three monitors. I use one for coding and file management, another for electronic documentation and another for Internet/communications. After developing this workflow, I am never returning to anything less than 2 monitors.

I use 4 monitors and two laptops on the same desktop and all of them are always used all the time. The main display for screen+emacs, and the other ones to rotate various pictures of Touhous for moral support.

i am an application developer using ruby on rails. I would have tickets and the website open on one screen and vim on the other screen.

You're either wasting a lot of screen real estate or coding like an ape.

A wonder you can code in Ruby at all, given your inability to use the shift key.

Which begs the question to of why that most modern languages has the horrible misfeature of case sensitivity.
Not only does it prevents that you can put proper emphasis in your code, it also too shuts out the myriad potential programmers that which capitalization is something that happen to other people.

THEN AND ONLY THING MAY i feel sorry for you and maybe i'll think about letting you off the hook, but i won't because your such a anushole that i will then begin to fuck the shit out of your eye sockets until you feel like a monk that has been in the dark for 99 mother fucking years.

I, as a person of no colour, find your suggestion that only people of colour would find that slur offensive to be in itself offensive. Please consider that people of all backgrounds may reasonably find such statements offensive.

Let's go back to discussing monitors!
As for myself, I use 6 monitors and three laptops on the same desktop and all of them are always used all the time. The main display for konsole tabs+vim, and the other ones to rotate various pictures of Touhous for moral support.

You only betray the fact that you are a 14 year old virgin with that ``slur''. No one who have experienced a black man's penis in his anus would consider ``niggerlover'' to be offensive. In terms more accessible to 14 year old virgins: it sounds about the same as ``icecreamlover'' or ``beerlover'' from someone who has not yet tried any of the substances mentioned and is too scared to try (and also is mortally afraid that no nigger would agree to love his ugly ass).
