To people saying things like "I know they bother some people, but I actually really like open offices!" - that's great for you, but the point of a workspace should be to target a "lowest common denominator" of productivity. You enjoy open offices, but does a basic cubicle (as an option - you can always have meetings/other open spaces) really hinder your productivity, in the same way open offices hinder the productivity of many? If not, then the right thing to do (for a professional work environment - a place intended for productivity first, and subjective enjoyment at best second) is to respect the needs of others in this situation. Any commons involves compromise.
