Agreed - there is something nice about having a quiet space to retreat to at work so you can focus on getting stuff done without any noise/distractions. I miss having a private office sorely since everyone just goes to me and asks me questions, making it harder for me to be productive. Oftentimes these questions are ones that if the developer did more research, he/she could have figured it out.

I've had plenty of cases where asking a question gave me a "Sure, here's how you do it. But the next time, be aware you can do X and Y instead." and that taught me to look up stuff first before asking silly questions. I just don't feel like this is a problem related to openspace offices.
