The main reason I like working remote is not having to commute. It puts a lot of extra stress and costs on me and my car. Traffic here is very difficult and public transit options are poor, really nonexistent out where I live. If I lived about 5 or 10 minutes away from my office, it would be different but since commuting takes about 2 hours out of my day, I welcome chances to work from home.

However, I do sort of work remotely anyway, from the office. The company has 4 locations in North America with developers in 3 of them plus a team in India. My boss is located in a different location. We do a lot of collaboration over Skype, including daily stand ups, but, sometimes, it would be nice to be in the same location.
