Contractors go back to permanent jobs for lots of reasons.
Re-locations, change in family status, social reasons (sure does get lonely working from home), aiming for managerial roles, a more stable income (even though less per hour) being able to focus on programming(without having to hunt for new contracts after each project is finished).

Yeah, was being slightly tongue-in-cheek when I said that. I know many fellow-contractors who have turned permie, but for me personally I've gained so much professionally, experience-wise and of course monetarily that I would never go back to permie-land.
I've also been lucky in that I've never been forced to work away from home and have always gone from one contract to the next with no gap.
