After having thought about this some more: all projects differ, all teams and individuals differ. I agree, if there's a big "sprint 0" idea push that needs to happen, I'm all for get-togethers. But once that's out of the way, I prefer remote work for various reasons, as the task list is known, and I can crack on without interruptions. Then there are all sorts of things we can do for the smaller ideation instances that pop over over the product development lifecycle, like setting meeting agendas, having folks send their notes ahead of time, and using the actual meeting to finalise the previously-disseminated information, and have a final round of questions/clarifications. Not all meetings need to be people sitting in a room doing random talking. I mostly come up with better ideas asynchronously anyway, after having some time to mull it over.
