Currently work out of my home office - have for > two years. Regularly go onto the clients' site, though, which I have found quite helpful in upping my productivity (breaks the routine, and there's something about meeting people in person that just rejuvenates.)
At first I was thrilled to work at home, and overall I still appreciate it. But I'm starting to want to have a separation of work and home environments. One of my goals for 2009 is to get my passive income high enough to pay for an office a short walk from my house (I live in a mixed-zoning part of SF, so this is certainly practical). If I'm going to work at all, that's the ideal situation, imo - physically separate spaces, but near zero time lost to commuting.
(Temporary - just until the passive income explodes and I retire to code open source full time, of course :)
