It works for some people, it doesn't work for others.

It works for some people, it doesn't work for others. It's a mistake to think that more screens means more distractions for everyone. It certainly doesn't for me. When I'm focused on an app, it gets my attention, and the mere presence of data nearby doesn't really get me. The benefit for me is in app switching, because I never have think about it when I can just glance over. The things that do affect me are popups and noises and the nearby phone. But these are all things that still exist on a single-monitor setup. I'm glad the author has found a solution that works for him, but it's wrong to generalize it as a solution for everyone.
