I find it useful for maximizing the available screen area for using two
applications. It lets you optimize the display by choosing which side has
the most extra space and which application needs to be displayed each
direction (some work fine vertically, others should be horizontal). This is
highly dependent on screen size and platform, so the user probably knows
what to do better than PicoGUI does.
