Apples and oranges. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and it requires a positive mindset to see and make the most of the advantages in the situation you find yourself in.
Working from home enables me to invest more in my home and land (interior/exterior design and agriculture) as well as seeing my wife and son all day. However, I have to give more intention to building a relationship with coworkers, collaborating effectively to do my job well, and scheduling social interactions outside of my job. I also have totally flexibility to move my family anywhere without thinking about my job.
I have found working in an office is more efficient for getting to know coworkers, making your work seem less abstract, collaborating to solve problems, etc. Remote tools are great, but nothing beats face-to-face.
