Face time - Some people thrive in a social environment. The same nut watching you work will find another way to track and impede you virtually. Technically/Socially - An issue for all offices. I don't see my TFS to git migration going as well virtually. In person groups worked well. It's works well for a lot of things and often. Productivity - Chat/SCM/etc are the hub regardless of physical location. In person we have access to white boards and pairing stations. Commute - Every cyclist and public transit commuter gets a workout and decompression time. I still set my own hours with a core hour preference and accepting meetings that fit in my schedule. Don't assume it's a technical and social issue. There's a spectrum of personalities and needs. I tried working from home with all the tools and a competent team socially. It was one of the worst positions in my life and had nothing to do with the work. I prefer my home away from home.
