Research by Microsoft suggests that distributed development has no impact on various software quality measures (bugs, code churn, complexity, etc). See: http://research.microsoft.com/apps/pubs/default.aspx?id=1023...

Well of course I won't have any impact on code quality when I don't actually write any code, because I can't stay focused while working from home. I'll take a non-open plan office over WFH any day

That's a false choice I most cases, and msft generally had private offices anyway.
