I like WFH better, but I wouldn't mind having an office within the company building, even if it's a shared office as long as it's shared with people who work on the same thing as me.
What I can't stand, and what I believe many people don't realize how much they can't stand it instead of something else, is having to share a space with people I have nothing to do with. Open floor plans prevent me from talking with my close colleagues, they force me to overhear conversations I have no interest in, strangers walking by all the time, the lack of privacy generates anxiety and so on.
