As a full time telecommuter for almost 3 years now, my opinion is quite different. I can barely imagine going back to a commuter life. The few times a month when I have to drive during rush hour remind me how much better life is when not spent in traffic. And without the daily distractions of office life I get much more accomplished in much less time. So long as you have good self control, and can work independently and self-motivate, it can be a wonderful arrangement. If you are lacking in those areas, I imagine it can be very difficult.
