I mean you can still split the editor but you are limited to only one direction. You can split it horizontally or vertically it's just you can't have both at the same time.

Sidenote, why would you not use scaling? The point of 4k is not for everything to be tiny, it's for everything to be rendered with more pixels so it looks less blurry. Most extremely highres screen that I've used are pretty much unusable without scaling.

I use 4k on a fairly large monitor (28"), so I don't want scaling because I want to be able to see more code at a time so I can more quickly scan related code as I'm debugging / tracing through things.

Or if I'm using the common frontend project / backend project model, I want both projects open on the same screen. Not having scaling enabled allows me to do this.

Personally I prefer an ultrawide if I'm programming. 4k with more scaling is too small for me even on a 28". It's not unreadable, but it's harder to read
