For me personally (I have worked 80% of my professional life of 25 years from home) it is all about time management. Doing traditional office hours would and does basically squash my productivity. I see that with many people around me: they work but not in a way I would describe as productive. The work gets done eventually but there was way too much interference. That is required for a team to work sometimes, but if you need to produce, quiet and your own comfort zone is probably preferable. Depends on what you do ofcourse. Mixing job roles in one open office (sales, product dev, pm and software dev) is one of the more efficient ways to get very little done in the alotted time. That is why I think, if someone has the discipline and the right job for it, working from home is efficient.
