I moved jobs from a job with 100% WFH allowed to another one with 100% WFH allowed.

Luckily I live 15 minutes door-to-door on the bus away so I’ve been going in for not even a full day once per week. I do now think it’s nice to see people, but really that’s all I’m going in for, I find I am far more comfortable and therefore work better at home.

Don’t see myself ever working in an office again, and I look back on the days where I would actually take two flights a week to go and work in other people’s offices with amazement that I actually put up with it

It's the same for me. I really sometimes miss my colleagues but not in a way that I get depressed, sad or lonely (I have a family and 2 kids at home). I just miss talking to them, drinking a coffee or having lunch together. We still try to do this from time to time but it happens only every few months.

For working my home office is far superior.. less disruptions, better ergonomics, no commute. The only thing that I think is really better in person are whiteboard sessions. Sure you can do it online via whatever collaborative tool but it is not the same.
