On the one hand, amazing, absolute lifesaver, much more free time
But on the other hand, it can be more isolating and you don’t have a great bond with co workers.
I’m in my 40s so for most of my work life so far it was full time in the office, so 5 days, for about 8 hours a day you were surrounded by people you got to know really well. For some people that may seem awful, but I really liked it, especially as I didn’t have a very nice home life.
But I wouldn’t want to go back to the full time in office though, once you’ve gotten used to remote work, it’s hard to let it go.
I just feel bad for the younger crowd that they won’t feel as connected with their colleagues if they only see them once or twice a week. Whether you like it or not, having good relations with co workers is beneficial for you and your career.

Should be way more common

I liked it. I hate having to commute
It’s great if you’re disciplined. I get more done and feel less stressed but sometimes I miss being around people.
I do not think I could do it full time as I need that social interaction.
I work hybrid and the few days I’m in office encourage me to make sure I look presentable.
