Actually, I find development in general to be fun. It doesn't have to be games... But you do get to play the games. :)

Maybe it's just me, but I think if software is well-made, it should be as fun to use as a game is fun to play. With the amount of richness and animation available to developers, there's no reason using even the simplest app can't be surprising and delightful.

It's not just you ;)
