I want the simplicity of managing a single concept: emacs windows.
Put another way, I do not want to get involved with emacs windows
versus frames, nor emacs windows versus window manager windows.

My physical desk is a motorized stand-up desk.  I can position that
massive monitor as I choose.  Currently I would say that it is about
1 1/3 arm's length away and positioned so that when I stare straight
ahead I am looking at a point about 1/4 of the way down the screen.
Looking upwards closer to the top of the screen is no issue.  Having
to jump frequently to the bottom of the screen is dizzying.
