I 100% agree. Remote working has really only worked for the past 5-10 years (probably less than 10). Async chat tools, file sharing, conference calls, video chats, etc. are the lifeblood of communication at remote companies. Without those tools it's very hard to make remote working work. People who say remote work doesn't work often times still rely on things like email...that's just not how it works. If you're communicating internally via email you're doing it wrong. That's not to say tools define remote culture, but they certainly help reinforce it.
