I agree with you that neither is inherently superior. However, I think this with regards to the business and generating business value. If you consider the quality of love improvements, they are phenomenal for the employee.

Personally, I believe in a hybrid solution. You work remotely say 2 days of the week, and you spend rest of the time in the office. This makes sure that you get your dose of water-cooler talk, as well as having time to yourself to get things done.
