I loved it until it got really hot. No air conditioning sucks. It does drain my desire to do anything, including work lol. I feel like just sitting in front of a fan with my mind totally blank. Or maybe going to the beach or something.
Other than that? No fucking contest! At home, I have a more comfortable desk and chair, and everything is setup exactly how I want it. I can play my favorite music on my speakers, meaning I don't have to wear headphones, and I don't have to hear all the chatter from people who work on crap I don't give 2 fucks about.
I suppose that last part is relevant only if you work at a company that does a lot more than just produce software. I work in an office with ~300 people, and only about 20 of us are programmers. It's 2 giant rooms, and we don't have enough meeting rooms, so I'm constantly hearing about shipping things, billing things, stuff that other people in the other engineering departments are concerned about, and so on.
At home? None of that. Oh that's so nice.
Plus I can live wherever, I don't have to deal with commuting, and the office isn't really in a particularly alluring location anyway.
I suppose it'd be different if I was a <15 minute walk away from a quiet office in a building with a sweet view, where awesome cheap food places are a short walk away from that.
That'd be legit. As it is, when I take a phone call I have to walk outside and usually my call is interrupted by someone driving by with no exhaust on their civic or something. Grr.
