For productivity, general desktop use, movie watching and gaming, ultrawide wins hands down. Seriously, i will never go back to 16:9.

Only "disadvantage" is while watching tv shows and 16:9 movies, as you see those with lateral black bars. But It's not really a disadvantage as, for example, a 29" 21:9 is about as tall as a 23.5" 16:9. So, basically, it's just like watching a 24" 16:9 screen.
And while the 27" may seem attractive, you must get that the 21:9 actually has more screen real estate as it's 2560x1080 vs 1920x1080. If those 27s were 1440p, it would be a different story.
Oh, and btw, for 1080p max recommended size in 24". The pixels are too big on 27s.
