I've been working remotely for a while now, after running a consultancy out of an office for a few years. Personally, I think it boils down to whether you trust the people you work with, and you create the necessary conditions for them to excel regardless of where they are. It really shouldn't matter where you are, even though face-to-face time is indeed important from time to time. I'd love to know what pain-points you found.

I just saw DHH post this, http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3658-cabin-fever http://37signals.com/svn/posts/3658-cabin-fever and it explains a bit. Sometimes motivation can be hard. Especially since you have no "real" coworkers and you're sitting around the house all day. Often times going out and working at a coffee shop can help but it's not always viable. It also doesn't help that I'm in a pretty isolated and mostly tourist area of Florida where there are seemingly no other developers or dev companies and most certainly no co-working spots here.
