Great topic!

About half of the company I work for works from home. I've been working from home for over 5 years now, full time.

I love it but there are definitely some challenges. Sometimes its hard to focus, sometimes I just "miss" the social interaction of an office. I also find working from an office a real challenge due to noise and distractions around me. However, having co-workers to vent to at the watercooler or over lunch can be a good stress outlet and I don't have that.

On the flip side, I am working from Arizona during our (Canadian) winters while my friends and fam deal with a mountain of snow, so I'll deal somehow. 🙂

I think we need more remote workers to help reduce our environmental impacts for starters and I've often thought that having more "temp desks" in offices would be a good thing for both people, business, our roads, and our environment.
