640x480 is more commonly used as a lowest common denominator by most
web design companies for the usual web market.
It also presupposes a certain arrogance on the part of the designer to
assume the browser window is maximised to the whole screen size. The
browser is usually only one of many open windows.
Programmers are a special case and tend to use text only browsers and
be colour challenged (ever tried to use a Sun as a desktop system or
get X working on the latest graphics card?).
So sites targeted at programmers should work on lower spec systems
than the usual web market.
