I agree it's personal and it's good to make people take a second think, does more screen estate = more productivity?
At work I've worked with an architect who was extremely organized and focused, and used one monitor with a window manager.
Personally, as a frontend dev I prefer two monitors. A 27" 1440p for coding (1 or 2 docs at a time, plus active terminal) and a 2nd screen (laptop screen) to view the site I'm developing, or results of tests I'm writing.
I tried window managers, but I prefer the multiple desktop approach, so that you can still have a focused experience one screen at a time.
Keep all the distracting windows in one desktop, and not mix them with your productivity desktops.
Also mapping play/pause/skip buttons on your keyboard, so you can manage your music without having to switch to your distracting screen.
So TL;DR for frontend work I like to minimise distractions, but prefer two screens at a time.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
