Well to each his own right? I personally would hate to work in a place where there's little socializing and quiet all day. I love the open office.
I always get a little annoyed when people make the assumption all programmers want peace and quiet. My day concists of a lot of banter and wouldn't want it any other way. I worked at a major financial services firm for a while too where there there were private offices and lots of silence and I felt isolated and miserable.
How about we all just look for jobs where the work ethic fits our personalities instead of judging if someone else's doesn't fit yours.
