I've never had a private office, accept for the time I tried holing up in an unused server closet, but I have had a semi-private cube and compared to it open offices are absolute shit. In terms of space, cubicles aren't much different than open-office but there is a cost reduction (cheap Ikea desks vs. desk and walls). I wonder how much is cost, how much is space, and how much is being able to directly see all your peons when managers make these decisions. Personally, If I weren't about to go remote I'd probably come in one weekend and setup a semi-permanent deer stand as my desk...
