I also find it super distracting when developing.. However when doing frontend website stuff (HTML/JS/etc) I don't.

Anything that requires concentration usually broken quite easily in open plans for me.

When I do design I actually do not want people to see my monitor. Too often someone just interrupts because they have to say "ooh, great logo" or something like that.

When I develop, nobody cares about the wall of characters that mean nothing to them.
