I have been to a sukkah that had alot of guests and the men and women sat separately. I didn't really mind. I also like to sit in the sukkah with my family.

I think you could ask the same about having guest on any shabbos. I dont think you have the same family togetherness (giving attention to the kids) that you have when there aren't guest, even if you are in the same room.
As for Y"T, having guest for 1 or 2 meals (out of 8-10) is nothing wrong, and is very nice even if eating separately. Having guest for every single meal is a different story.

The only time I can recall my family sitting separately is on the occasional Sukkos when the weather is not bad enough for the men to eat inside but the women bow out because it's cold/nasty/wet. I'm all for family togetherness, but if it's once in a blue moon (even once a Y'T) that's no big deal. It can even be fun sometimes to have a "girls only" meal.

I am going to my in-laws for the first days and for the day meals, there will not be enough room in the sukkah for even just the family (another married child and family is coming then) so the woman will probably be eating inside. It doesn't bother me because it wasn't intentional and this way all fo the family will get to be together.

You mean they sat separately in the succa or that men were in the succa and women indoors?

Sitting in separate places with no joint conversation (Succos) is the same as having guests at the Shabbos table? I don't see it.

Ok not exactly the same.
But on shabbos the "quality family time" is def. not the same when having guest as when not having guest. By us when we have guest, the women generally sit at one end of the table conversing, the men at the other end, and the children stuck somewhere in between. There isn't too much joint conversation.
But again, its not so terrible not to have quality family time evey single week, so we do occasionally have guest.
