I hate open plan offices. Not only are they incredibly noisy they can be visually distracting too (Have you ever tried to concentrate when a 6' 4" Tigger has just bounced by just within peripheral vision? It's hard, trust me).
Guess what sort of office I work in (when I'm not working from home that is) 
Working from home is great if you can manage the self-discipline. Sometimes I will wear "sort of" work clothes to get me into that space if it's been a while. Then change into "my real" clothes at the end of the working day for a complete mind-shift. Mind you at other times you really don't want to see what I "wear"

It's a funny thing that happens twice a day, in the morning and again in the evening morons come out in droves. People that only think of themselves, are rude and think the road was made just for them. So commuting to work is not just a PITA, it seems to be a fight for survival at times.

Just having the daily commute being ten seconds in each direction makes such a difference to QoL: you aren't fighting traffic for two hours a day (more if someone does something really stupid) and paying a small fortune for the privilege. You knock off, you're home. The rest of the time is yours. And it's quiet. Peaceful. nobody standing over your shoulder silently pressing you to finish what you are doing, or worse making it obvious they aren't happy you don't consider them No 1 Priority. Or just chatting over and over about some stupid TV show you didn't watch, won't watch, never want to watch.
Get the balance right, and get some discipline in your life, and it's wonderful. Obligatory Dilbert[^]

I completely agree. Don't work from home all the time, but at least I have the option to do so. However, I've had a really hard fight trying to get the missus to understand that "work from home" means that I actually have to work - In her book, "work from home" means vacuuming, cleaning, doing dishes, doing laundry, going shopping etc. 
But in all sincerity, in MY book, "work from home" also includes lying on the sofa cuddling the cats for an hour after lunch...

have been working from home for the last 4-5 years now as an independent contractor.
I would not have it any other way.

I am a lab rat. And I usually end up with tons of miscellaneous hardware to configure / program / interface / decode anyway so I might as well be given the more appropriate place from the start.

I have no problems being in a personal office or a team office (luckily, up to now the teams where I was were quite OK and noise was never a big issue).
I can't // don't like to work at home, but if I do "home office", then I go to the library or similar.
Big open offices with 10+ people... no thanks.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
