For me it would be more of a toss-up if software engineers generally actually worked in real individual "offices" (like we used to, as a 49 year old I still remember the before-times).
But when compared to the modern nearly-universal open office plan... yeah there's no doubt I'd much rather work from home as often as possible, and based on my experience in both environments I'll be far more productive doing the job from home. Everyone's mileage may vary.

- irrational 4y agoNot just open office. My company doesn’t even have fixed seating. Basically you show up and wander around until you find an open desk. You have to take all your stuff with you if you need to go to a meeting or to lunch. It is ridiculous.
