MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013 Model)
2ghz Intel Core i7
8GB Ram
macOS Sierra
Stand up desk (adjustable)
Single 27" Thunderbolt Display (two monitors bother me, I can't get over the bezel gap so I'd rather have 1 large monitor).
Terminal + VS Code is pretty much all I use for actual coding work. MAMP for quick local checks of projects. Remote dev and prod machines deployed through via git (git push dev, git push prod is lovely and simple). Docker when I need it (not for my own projects yet, but useful for running other people's software without polluting my machine).

I think this is like tabs vs spaces. I specifically like the physical separation between the 2 monitors and don't try to keep them right next to each other. It helps me switch contexts easily and when I mess around one workspace, the other is still intact.
I know I can achieve the same with multiple desktops but somehow never got comfortable with it.
See, I don't even use multiple desktops except when I accidentally trigger them in OSX.
I use a window manager called Spectacle so I can use keyboard shortcuts to arrange my windows in half/third/left/right configurations.
If I have more stuff than that needing space, it is like multi-tasking -- nothing gets the attention it needs. So I keep a tidy set of windows, close things I don't need, and keep tabs in browsers to a minimum as well.
My computer environment is far, far more organized than anything else in my life. Ha.
