I've already commuted to the office for about 20 years, I'm not missing the traffic or crowded public transportation! The last 2 years of working from home has been excellent. Time and money saved on not commuting and by not buying my lunch out. I think that I'm very productive at home plus it's a better work/life balance.

On the negative side I guess that you do lose some of the social and collaborative aspects of working closely with coworkers. If a majority of my Development team was going into the office on certain days I would consider going in a few days per week.

I think there's something else, when I used to get the train to work instead of play with them, I did got really inspired about all sorts of code related things, that head space was valuable, infact almost 200 of my posts where wrote while catching a train and using my phone.
Thinking about it though I have that head space all the time, the feeling of returning home and the relief doesn't exist because I never went out the door.

Finally there is no resentment about traveling so I'm likely to not go looking for more work for a good long while
