I do. I hate the traffic - but my absolute idea commute would be 20 minutes, about 1/4 highway, the rest 'back roads' (little to no red lights)
My current commute takes me about 15 minutes, and it's nothing but traffic. I can take 'some' backroads and cut down on "stop and go" traffic - but there's still lots of lights. During non-rush hour I can get to work in about 5-7 minutes. (I live about 6-7 miles from work) I still go home for lunch - about a 40 minute lunch - not bad.
My last place I lived literally less than a mile from my work, with one intersection. My vehicle wouldn't even blow hot air (in the winter) by the time I got there. It was awesome mainly because of lunches - 55 minute lunches in front of the tv FTW!
Would you be willing to live further from work time-wise but less traffic? (I.E. if it takes you 20 min during rush hour traffic would you live 30 minutes away with no traffic?
