It's each to thier own... not something people should have pre-defined ideas about. Go try different screens for your needs.
I think the key is working space. with dual 4/3 monitors I had to run my photoshop tools in the second monitor, and with flash I had everything like the timeline, tools, properties etc in the second monitor. with dual widescreens I'm able to place more tools and sometimes all the tools and browsers on the first monitor.

although a sqaure monitor is better for me when working with 16x9 video. this allows me to preview the video and have tools around the video. where with a widescreen, it take up more of the desktop.

then again i don't think i would buy a monitor that only had 900h resolution.
