Open Offices - Good Or Bad?

John Honovich

I was just skimming an article on Facebook which had a shot of one of their HQ buildings:

It scares me as I prefer quiet and privacy to think and get stuff done. Obviously, Facebook has the money to do any office layout they want but this is what they prefer.

What do people feel about open offices like this? Curious, who uses an open office as well.
