I've been working from home for the last four years, and maybe I'm an outlier but I literally have no issues with it. I am productive, I have a good separation between my work and personal lives, I never have an issue getting motivated, and I don't feel lonely. It probably helps that I love my work, but I don't have any issues with distractions. I actually appreciate the fact that there are distractions around home, because if I need a break from work it's as easy and heading to the living room to play some games or kick back and relax to some tv on my comfy couch. When I need a change of scenery or human interaction, I just head to a coffeeshop to hang out and work alongside a friend or two who have also flexible work situations, or I go to a co-location workspace in the city. I waste no time commuting, my workstation is setup exactly how I want it to be (complete with a Geekdesk and two 27" cinema displays), and I control the temperature. And if I need to "stay late at the office" it's not hard on my wife because she knows I'm just downstairs. Heck, she can even hang out in my "office" and read or do whatever while I work. Every 6 weeks or so I will fly to the offices of my current contract to work on location, so it's interesting to compare that experience. I do end up getting into sync with the rest of the team a little better when I'm physically there, but not by too much since we heavily utilize collaborative tools like skype and join.me to great effect. What I do find is that I get pulled aside WAY more when I'm on location and my workflow constantly gets interrupted; I'm way less productive. I always end up with back-pain issues too because I'm working at a substandard workstation. I do admit it's fun to BS with my cohorts though, but I don't know how important that is to the project. I know there are benefits to working on location, but honestly in my opinion working from home is better on almost all fronts.
