For myself, I work from home as much as I can because the alternative is a 2 hour commute to my current client's office (I'm a consultant). It doesn't matter if paradise awaits me at the other end of that trip - I don't want to go. That said, half the time I work from home winds up being spent in a Starbucks 5 minutes from the house, just for the change of scenery (and free coffee).
