All popular IDEs (and most apps) seem stuck in a single-monitor paradigm. When are we going to get an IDE that sets the bar for working with multiple monitors? For inspiration, look at multi-monitor audio engineering consoles. Please

I'm not really sure why you would want IDE to work like an audio console. There's a huge difference in the workflow: when you're doing audio you can only "see" the end result inside the app. On the contrary when you're coding you can only see the end result OUTSIDE the IDE. Thus you need your first monitor with IDE contained and your second monitor with your app running with live reload and a browser window with docs and Stack Overflow. There's no need to put an IDE everywhere - you'll only be missing out in terms of productivity.
