I'm working solo right now and I have to say, I absolutely love it. Prior to my project I was in firmware at a large corp and after years we got moved into a shared lab and I could not stand it. Working from home (and solo) gives me a nice, quiet, and productive place to get things done. I like that it's rekindled my joy of programming, before it was a job/career. It definitely can get lonely if you let it, but it's just a decision you have to make for yourself in the end. I always have IRC open and my phone is near by, so I still have ways to interact with people throughout the day, except now I'm not being interrupted nearly as much ... so my interactions with people are much more positive.
