It seems like the majority of people prefer working from home, and I understand why, but I still prefer having a dedicated place away from home to work. It seems to put me in a different frame of mind that is much harder to get to when I'm at home. I've found it much harder to actually work on hobby projects for some reason; since it's all done from the same place, it just feels a bit like work and motivation has certainly waned.

They're not the majority. Maybe they're close to it, among developers. But outside of developers, it's not the case, by far. For a lot of people work is an important part of their social life.

I could be wrong, but my impression is that a majority do want to go into the office at least some days per week.

That's definitely my perspective. I certainly like not having to commute (25 minute drive one way) but I would still like to get out of the house for the day 1-2 days per week. I'm introverted though and my commute is relatively easy. WFH is much more daunting for other personality types and situations.

I think my ideal would be work-from-anywhere, plus travel to the office for maybe 5 days every month or two. It would be the perfect balance of in-person collaboration, AND allow me to live somewhere affordable.
