I use a laptop with an external monitor on a daily basis, I've
upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10 in hope of finding better multi-screen
support but was quite disappointed.
My laptop has an Nvidia card and I was not able to activate my
external monitor with unity 3D. [BUG 864784] HOWEVER, Unity 2D is
surprisingly pleasant! I don't feel like I'm using second class
software in the slightest. In fact, I rarely notice that I am using
unity 2D. It's terrific, thank you guys!
I miss the window snap function on the shared edge of the screens.
Snap only seems to work on the far edges of the workspace.
I would REALLY like display hot-plugging to turn on my external
monitor when it's plugged in, but I've adjusted to using the
nvidia-settings tool every time I boot my laptop.
As for the questions posed by Bryce, here's my two cents as a user:

I'd be much happier if unity reflected the application use on that screen.

yes!

Perhaps as the mouse approaches the top left corner of the screen, it
could slide out much like how the the window snap works.

I think it makes the most sense to follow the mouse, rather than
mirroring on both screens.
I know that design worked on that the past 3 weeks to look at the
multimonitor cases in Unity and it's a target for Oneiric. So yeah, will
likely to be discussed at UDS (you can also suggest your ideas on the
ayatana mailing list (see http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/) to reach
them.
