Same here.

For daily work I am running Emacs in full-screen mode with no 
decorations, i.e. (menu|tool|scroll)-bars at all.

With a relatively narrow font (Iosevka), I can easily keep three 
side-by-side windows with code or log buffers. With the help of windmove 
the buffer requiring most attention would be brought into the center 
window with few keystrokes.

In case there is really only one buffer to care about, 
perfect-margin-mode serves me well. It also addresses the flush-left 
minibuffer issue.

Hope this helps,
Marcus
