I generally enjoy pair programming because it gives one an insight on how other people approach problems. It's especially beneficial in a senior-junior dev relationship, if the senior developer isn't condescending and the junior is a fast learner. Some junior devs might be intimidated by senior developers and view correction as being reprimanded for their mistakes, this comes when the senior dev is irritable. Generally for me it's a good experience and I've learnt a lot, especially on matters js. You have to find a partner you're comfortable working with.
