Those of you who have been working from home, do you prefer it?

There is a lot of talk in the SF Bay Area about working from home becoming a permanent situation (or at least an option) for many tech workers. Tech workers are consequentially moving out of this overpriced area and purchasing vacation homes in rural areas from which they can work.

Is there value in work as an escape from home life? Do people really want to be at home all the time? Maybe you have a long commute and working from home has been a blessing.

I'm an instructor, so working from home has been a negative from me and I am looking forward to its end.
