    But in interviewing the decision makers for the article, every single one insisted that open floor plans are here to stay, even if they didn't like them

    Replying to @actbrilliant @holgermu
    Every open floor plan I've visited or asked about has complained that it just comes down to people fighting for the closed spaces. Whether it's an office, or a phone booth, people rarely work well in the open.

    MapR has some rabidly loyal customers. I seriously doubt they'll be left out in the cold.
