I dunno, why would anyone think of the stuff you write as exciting?
Other people have different definitions for "exciting". Don't knock someone else's idea of it just because you don't agree with it.

What I generally do is write web apps, and much of my enjoyment comes from figuring out how to creatively use other people's libraries and to write very DRY code.
The libraries I use abstract browser fragmentation away from my presentation layer, so I don't have to do endless run-debug-fix loops on the front end.
At this point, the code I write for each new project is 90%+ unique to the project and very thin, so I get to do the fun part of releasing and iterating it.
