I'm a developer who usually works remotely. I agree that people work better together when they are in the same place, but by having a distributed team you are not restricted to recruiting just people from a certain area and so the standard of the people in the team can be higher. So for teams that require a fairly specific skill set, teams that are recruited from anywhere in the world and working remotely would often outperform teams recruited from one area who work in the same place.
