How many people like an 'open floor plan'?

There isn't a forum for Architecture or houses (as opposed to household), so I'm just sticking this here I'm just wondering.

I keep seeing these new and renovated houses that have had most of the interior walls gutted. I don't think I could get comfortable there. They'd have to be company-clean all the time. There are no cozy places, no privacy. (And I'm not even getting into the bathrooms where you only have to walk around a couple view-blocking walls and there's no door at all, let alone one that locks.)

I look at houses on the realty websites. (For a pastime; no way could I afford to move from my current house, and I don't want a condo/apartment in the anthill serf-storage units that are going up everywhere.) Nearly every one, I start analyzing where I would put interior walls.

My favorite house would be a hobbit hole. Or an old-fashioned bungalow. All the nooks and crannies. I guess I'd like the equivalent of an English muffin.

And don't even get me started on pale gray walls. I don't want to have to put on makeup at home so I don't look dead. Beige is almost as bad, but at least you don't look ready for the viewing.

But somebody must like them. How much of a minority am I in?
