| CODING: a bit of lua, html/css, fragments of js, php, twig | CMS: a bit of wordpress, gravcms | 2D: layout, vector graphics, design in general | 3D: low-poly stuff, animation |
There are surely more aspects to the decision, but one I get in mind is:
If you use auto-tiling features of your OS, the single wide-screen may prove annoying. In Windows e.g., you can tell an application to use half of the screen with a keyboard shortcut. I mostly use this to have word documents, file explorers and alike on left and right side of the screen. But if you have one huge screen and not 3 normal ones, you can't easily place 6 applications side by side this way anymore.
Actually that's my main concern about ultrawide screens.. normally I use OS shortcuts to organize my view layout of apps (Win+sidekeys) all the time, comes in pretty handy to split the views of code editor and browser, for example. I'm sure there are tons of ways to split like 6 programs in ultrawide too, tho I'm not sure how efficient they are.
Microsoft itself created "PowerToys", that allows you to create full customizable desktop layouts, its a must use for me. github.com/microsoft/PowerToys

for some reasons I can't reply to @dandantas
, but(I apparently did) Thx! I didn't know about PowerToys before. First thing (right after a few month's worth of updates) I will install when back in office!
@dandantas
, checked out all the features it comes with, I have to say FancyZones and Run would be the only ones I would consider (currently use Keypirinha as app launcher) :)

I second PowerToys, I was a big fan of the 3 monitor setup but PowerToys makes one ultrawide usable.
