Ultrawide vs. Dual Monitors

Question

I'd like to hear what the community thinks about ultrawide vs. dual monitors. I've been using a dual/triple monitor setup for years and am considering the switch to ultrawide. I'd like to see the communities opinions first! Much appreciated.*Edit, I want to add that my usage is mostly for work/productivity purposes.

I've done both and only use "large" monitors now. Be it ultrawide or large high resolution monitors... I can't stand the bezels and turning my neck larger distances/more often always bothered me. I think this is just one of those personal preferences things though.

I've used both, and I prefer using multiple monitors over the ultrawides. I've found that multiple monitors gives me much more flexibility, as I can orient them in a manner that's most conducive to the task at hand (for instance, being able to aim one monitor towards visitors to show them things).But, honestly, my preference is a slight one -- if I have to use an ultrawide instead, that's actually fine.
