Also do software. Went from a triple monitor (1080 portrait, 1440 landscape, 1080 portrait) to super ultra wide. The biggest reason was my work laptop only supports two 1440 or one 4k monitors so I use the ultra wide in picture by picture mode.
I miss the vertical space for reading documents but that's kind of it. There is enough horizontal space to have my work open with slack/email/whatever on the side since it's basically two monitors but without the bezel.
I've been enjoying the ultra wide way more when gaming vs the single 1440, by a lot. Don't think I could go back now however I play a lot of fps games that will use the whole monitor.
The only annoying thing is I need to switch to input mode whenever I switch computers but this might not apply to you if all devices can support the native resolution.
Whoa I heard of picture in picture but not picture by picture. Interesting, that's a neat bit of info to try to get two monitors out of one ultrawide.
