I'm a full stack web developer who has been freelancing for the last 20 years. I write about everything from development to production and also have video courses on my site!
I found the experience to be disorienting and things just don't look right at the outer edges of the monitor where the curve is the most drastic.
I find having 2 separate monitors very slightly angled in towards you gives you the best of both worlds. You get that curve-like feeling (which really just means it's easier to see everything since there's so much physical horizontal space to account for) BUT without things looking warped at the outer edges.
Of course there's trade offs like seeing a 1 centimeter bezel, but there's so many other wins too, beyond it being easier to manage multiple windows on 2 monitors.
For example, if you happen to do live streaming, you can place a webcam in between both monitors to get a natural angle, but with 1 big monitor, your options are way more limited.
Or if you're recording videos, it's simple to only record 1 of your screens instead of having to micro-manage windows into a specific rect area of 1 large monitor.
TL;DR Yes, but the utility and benefits of 2 monitors is a million times better for a general web developer / content creator IMO.

Used what, a curved monitor? Yep.
