I've gotten a taste for it now. I could reluctantly work in a small shared office with other programmers, but I would have to be desperate to ever go back to an open office. That or get paid a lot.
I'm glad I get to work in a hybrid environment. We all have laptops for the actual coding. Have a number of rooms, lounge areas and meeting spaces as well as a central open area for coding. I usually code collaboratively with some of the team members in open space. Sometimes alone in lounge with good music in background, sometimes in a closed room whichever gets me in the zone. The rule is if you don't see someone in open area then you gotta slack.
I absolutely believe giving developers the freedom to choose a personal space with walls and doors is very essential to productivity.
