I love side x side auto arrange (or whatever it is called) on my Mac. It's great for editing or any writing where I have to reference a second document. However, for writing, writing, I love the focus of iA Writer in full screen, focus mode (keeps text in the bottom 1/3rd like a typewriter, and grays out all but the sentence I'm writing. I try and use my Kindle as my main reference when needed instead of the split screen. I also utilize the multiple desktops and easily navigate with trackpad gestures. But a lot of that is dependent on your OS and your working style. For me, too much "noise" or "clutter" on the screen distracts me, but then I do 1/2 a ting at a time, and that poorly.
