I sometimes feel slightly ill with a lot of screens open; I want one small screen with one app at a time maximised, and lots of soothing, empty desk space around my laptop.

I guess my desk is more like a furniture commercial or stock photo than most people's actual experience: a glowing jungle of cables and screens, all screaming for their attention at the same time.

p.s. Yes, I do software development and web-site design that way.

My 15 inch laptop tends to split 50:50 left and right, unless it need something full screen.
Ehen I use my 14 inch chromebook, that is just a single window.
Occasionally, I will use my tablet to add an additional scree, usually on my laptop.
