I'm glad to see this being discussed. As a designer/front-end dev, I find working remotely to be personally rewarding and immensely productive. Going to an office all day is not fun and with all of the distractions, it makes work even more difficult. Being remote removes these barriers. This is great because when you need to get a project done, you can have hours of uninterrupted time and knock stuff out. There is one major caveat, though, in that IT'S NOT FOR EVERYONE. Whether it be that you thrive in a communal environment, work better in teams, or just can't get your work done without being babysat, some people just don't cut it. For companies, it's an excellent way to diversify your team and build an international presence. It's 2012. We have the Internet, phones, and airplanes (if an office visit is truly necessary). Get into it.
