I find the open office preferable to a cubicle farm. Most cubicle setups don't offer much in the way of privacy, especially with regard to noise and conversation, but they are dreary and soul-draining to look upon. Obviously a private office for teams or individuals is ideal, but if it's between open office and cubicles, I'll pick the open office every time.
