I must be in a small minority that enjoys open workspaces. I've had my own office before and found it extremely lonely and isolating. I didn't feel like a part of my team at all and I found it very easy to get distracted. The next job was completely open, pair programming stations without even having our own desks. I LOVED it. I got to know my team better. We got together to solve problems quickly and easily. You always knew what was going on with the rest of the team. It's not an environment for everyone, but I felt like I could thrive in it.
