As an interviewee, I have a particular distaste for take home questions, at least if given before doing a couple phone screens- I want to see a company invest time in me a bit before spending half a day coding.

Besides, having been an interviewer more than an interviewee at this point I find being able to competently discuss previous projects with a degree of excitement more predictive of success anyway. I still ask to see interview coding, but it's more a check box for basic skills than a major focus
