30fps might be fine for playing Solitaire, but it is definitely a limiting factor for first-person shooters.
Personally, after a year or two of programming on 30hz, I absolutely want 60hz for office use. Having lag while dragging around windows is not fun. Having a 1080p+ monitor is more about screen real estate than it is about precision: you just can't fit three windows side-by-side on 1080p while still having stuff remain readable.
That makes sense. For programming I use a tiled wm so don't drag windows around at all, I disable all animations so haven't felt any need for high framerates personally.
