I use it on my laptop which has a small screen. I have two or three workspaces/"ribbons" with let's say terminals (with IDE) on the first one, browser(s) under that one and chats in the bottom row. I have at most two or three windows in each row, so there's not much overhead. Also there are keybindings to jump to the start or end of each workspace. How many windows do you usually have open?
