My screen is usually divided up as follows:
+----------------------+--------+
| | |
| | |
| web browser | editor |
| | |
| | |
| | |
+----------------------+--------+
or:
+--------+----+--------+--------+
| ter- | | | |
| minal | | | |
+--------+ | editor | editor |
+--------+ | | |
| ter- | | | |
| minal | | | |
+--------+----+--------+--------+
That's made possible by the 80-column limit.
In a word, I like it and meticulously enforce it in my code.
