You know, I really don't know whether more screen space makes you more productive. I actually suspect that question matter less than you'd think in terms of the question at hand (whether "visual" workspace will be accepted by programmers).
I was simply saying that I and I suspect many typical programmers want this screen space and will become annoyed at programs which stand against it. IE, put a widget between me and the data I really want and you'll soon see me not using your application. Will this preference make me more or less productive? That's a further question.
On the other hand, I happen to think a second monitor is a great recipe for disabling neck injuries. But that is my rather particular view based on my studies of effective and ineffective postures.
