I STRONGLY prefer my work to be as isolated as possible. I don't want work invading my real-life spaces - not in my living room, my study, my kitchen, or any other non-work related place I may go. Work is just work, it's the thing I do so I can afford to do the stuff I actually enjoy. Having the mental and physical separation of going to a totally different place to do work is something I like having, and you can't beat the bandwidth of an organic face-to-face conversation with no delay or audio problems. I also couldn't care less about commuting, its 20 minutes either way and I actually enjoy having a chance to just chill out on the train and read. If your commute is too long then you're either living or working in the wrong spot.
