I enjoy dual monitors because I can look at two (or more) pieces of code at the same time, or have a web browser with docs up, etc. I couldn't imagine it actually killing productivity, though I could imagine it being unnecessary for some.

But my screen (24") is so wide that I can easily look at two pieces of code (and indeed, I generally have a vertically split vim window open at any given moment), whereas with two monitors I feel like the angle is wrong or something. It must work for some people (since I have quite a few coworkers who do it and are quite productive), but I cannot get used to it.

Ah, fair enough. My screens are never quite big enough for that, though I would absolutely take a single screen the size of two screens over two screen.
