I'm not sure whether your think this is a good thing or bad thing.

Personally, I hate 16:9 with every bone in my body, so if someone replaced the wonderful 3x 4:3 monitors in the first picture with the abominations in the second picture, I'd be ready to kill them.

Why? More screen real estate is a good thing.

Holy shitsnacks!

For the record, I'm happy with the extra real estate. The old monitors didn't really give me enough room to feel truly comfortable with all the things I tend to have open while at work, so this is a "good thing" in my book

Yeah, I can't imagine going back to 4:3 anything. Thank goodness HDTV has forced the public to accept "the black bars of more visual content".

Three monitors of any aspect ratio is a bit much for me, but I do all of my work on a 15 inch screen.

But... how do you fly your own spaceship then?

Yeah, I can't stand the thought of the bezels segmenting my workspace. I just have a 27" monitor and I'm good.

I like 3 monitors, 1 for my IDE, one for my test servers, and one for Google/references.

I can deal with two monitors on a working computer. I could probably deal with three, even, though by that point you're getting so much un-snappable space that it feels like it would become a pain in the ***.

But I need to echo this for my home computer, where I spend as much time watching video and playing games as I do referencing multiple windows and spreadsheets.

Too much horizontal, not enough vertical.

Personally, I'm using 2x 16:10 24" monitors and one 4:3 2", all Dell Ultrasharps- they've all got 1200px vertical resolution, and then 1900, 1900 and 1600 horizontal respectively. The extra vertical real-estate is huge for me- they're all the perfect size for a full 11" vertical document to fit, and with the 2 24" monitors I can tile 4 pages side-by-side to work.

You'll always get more screen real-estate at 16:10 than 16:9, and technically, always more with 4:3 than 16:9, assuming you have enough monitors.
