It depends.

I like programming. Quite a bit. But the modern bureaucratic morass of web technologies is usually only inspiring in the small. I do not like the fact that I have to balance so many different languages and paradigms to get to my end result.

It would be a bit like a playwright aficionado saying “I really love telling stories through stage play” only to discover that all verbs used in dialogue had to be in Japanese, nouns are a mix of Portuguese and German, and connecting words in English. And talking to others to put your play on, all had to be communicated in Faroese and Quechua.
