I've been working from home (freelance developer) for about a year and a half now. It's obviously going to be dependent on the person, but so far I haven't found any real downside. Some people say they get lonely. I find that between my wife and occasionally going out with friends I have plenty of social interaction. Not having to spend any time commuting is great. I have my workspace setup exactly how I want it, without any compromises for any kind of company standards. Also, while this may be a somewhat touchy subject, I can work when there is actually work to be done, and do something else when there isn't. I think that's the best part. There is actually incentive to get things done as quickly and efficiently as possible. I know when I get done what I need to I can stop for the day, but if I was in a typical office, I would need to be there all day regardless of how much work needed to be done that day.
