I like it but I tend to go back and forth. Multiple windows in Emacs are more clearly distinguished if they’re side-by-side instead of one below the other. And Inkscape fails to take advantage of portrait-mode—it puts a crucial toolbar to the right of the workspace, so you get a very tall, very narrow workspace in portrait-mode.
I have a really big monitor and like to have three buffers open side-by-side (plus the directory listing)… which lets me see models, view and controller side-by-side (or thing and thing_spec, depending on what I’m working on).
I am to the point now where I basically need to have two windows open side-by-side if I’m working in emacs, ever. Even if they’re open to the same buffer, it feels Right. The only problem is that they both end up with some unused horizontal space, because most things I edit don’t have very long lines. Anybody know what to do with the extra horizontal space? Speedbar, perhaps?

me too, though I’m a vim user.

Maybe you could open up a third window for the second buffer, and yoke the other two of them to the first buffer using follow-mode?
