> I absolutely love being in an open office layout because it allows for easy collaboration
For collaboration nothing beats an open office layout. But collaborative periods make up a very small amount of our [developers] time.
If we spent most of our time collaborating then maybe open office layouts would make some sense (though maybe not, since there's still downsides to consider). It is illogical to choose an office layout based on what you spend a small fraction of your time doing.
