Would hate it if it was full-time. I did that once for a brief period and found it very isolating. You don't form relationships with co-workers the same way and WebEx, as great as it is for so many conferencing needs doesn't replace face-to-face discussions for others. But part-time WFH has been a godsend to me and a lot of my co-workers.
