I'd been looking for a remote job for a long time before this. Never could get one, I was frequently turned down because I lacked remote work experience. Now that I have remote work experience, everyone else does as well. So... no change in my competitive position vis-à-vis other remote job candidates. Booo, they'll just come up with new reasons to reject me :( I like working from home, there are some disadvantages, but overall I definitely prefer it, and at a more macro level I think there's an opportunity here to fix some of the crowding issues (not to mention traffic and the concomitant pollution) in our cities by giving people flexibility in where they live and work. I for one, hate big cities, but a career in tech has generally meant living in a major metro area. OTOH, companies are not going to just let all the office space they're paying for sit idle. If they can't divest themselves of some/most of it quickly (hello, commercial real-estate crash), all our asses are going to be back in our rickety office chairs under the flickering fluorescent lights.
