I'm amazed that people actually like these imac like displays. No rotation, fixed height and the stand takes a ton of space.

I previously had many negative associations with VESA-mounted monitors, and I think other people have as well, due to poor-quality mounting arms. I've used VESA-mounts where monitors bounced every time someone walked by; that's a serious issue.
When I started working from home full-time, I set up a high-quality VESA-mount system using a pole mount and a professional monitor arm; the service I purchased it from actually looked up the monitor specs to figure out the level of support the arm required. The resulting setup is rock-solid and always stays exactly where I place/tilt it.
So I do think VESA-mounting can provide a great experience, but the difference between cheap and high-quality can make or break the resulting experience.
My main workstation is currently a PC with monitor on an arm, but honestly, I found the iMac to be a cleaner setup. Literally the only display-related issue would be height adjustment, but that wasn't a problem for me.
