I hate that fact that there's no easy way to make it span two monitors
without disjoining them. On Access, I leave the VB window up on one
monitor and the form view on another. Helps with keeping the code tied
to reality sometimes.

In VS.Net, for a single application it's pointless for me to develop
in two monitors (granted, I can make the code window bigger by
dragging the solution explorer, etc to the other window, but nothing
increased productivity wise.

Now, when I'm looking code up online to help debug our programs, the
2nd monitor's extra space keeps from Alt-tabbing.

For a developer, 2nd monitors make things simpler if you're using good
programs. Maybe 2005 will allow us better dual monitor support.
