As remote developer, I must disagree.

There has always been distractions in office. Colleague would just walk over to you.

Now you get message. You can choose what you check and when. And reaction that is not immediate is usually fine. At least at my company.

And best of all, I don't have to be in same office to be able to communicate. I'm not even in same country, yet we can work realtime with team.
