It does a take a little getting used to when you first change over schwa. Once you do though, I think you will see there are many workflow advantages in the 'new' layout and it is very customisable. I wouldn't dream of going back now!
I put piano roll view, console view and any windows I need into the dock, float it, then drag it onto my second screen and maximise it. I then use the tabs across the top of the dock for access. Any synth property pages I open also go into the dock.
I have track view and on the main monitor, with the browser docked on the right hand side and the track inspector docked on the left hand side. I use the B keyboard shortcut to open and close the browser as needed.
Good luck with your layout:)
