It can be great but after 6 weeks I just needed to get out of my home. Maybe it would be different if you could go out more and not everything would be closed.
That said, I have a 15 minutes walk to work. What I would like are flexible models. Maybe three days in office, two at home or something like that. Granted, that doesn't save money and I also detest workstation sharing or open offices.
Conferences are nice and all, but there is no technical replacement for meeting people in person. Especially since with conferences, your exchanges are often limited to the people relevant to your job, so basically I mostly talked to nerds.
Still, the stuff you mentioned is very convenient of course. I feel it is a bit unfair to colleagues that work in production. Those just don't have the option for home office.
