I wouldn't mind doing an ordinary programming in it as well. It would be much easier than messing with multiple real displays.
My dream is a world where we eliminate physical displays from our computers altogether.
But we're definitely not there yet - it's going to 8, maybe 12K displays in a Rift to get the necessary resolution. But once it's viable, yeah, I hope to never buy another computer monitor again.
So I'm actually pretty excited for something that needs me to look around all the time. I've still gotta try making my text editor twitch about all the time. A moving target makes more sense for our predator eyes, so maybe VR will finally allow people who work with computers not to have disproportionally more need for glasses.
