A nice train commute is an asset enough for me to prefer it over no commute (however it is expensive).
You prefer X minutes of your time that you are forced to spend in the company of strangers, aboard a moving vehicle, over spending the same X minutes in the comfort of your own home doing the same activity?
I have 3 active little boys in the house. I love them, but they are hard to concentrate around.
Being aboard a moving vehicle might have a positive mental effect. I hear Tolstoy used to work on trains. I believe there were some well known physicists who did likewise, but can not recall the names.

Yes.
The train is probably nicer than you imagine.
