Maybe your problem is that doing something professionally will always force you to spend time on parts you find uninteresting?
I agree mobile is awful. You might find 2D game dev to be fun, if you hyper-focus on a single platform.

Maybe. But that's just part of the problem. The other part is breath-first nature of work. In web, you have to cover a lot of different bases in order to get things going. I imagine in mobile dev it's more of a depth-first nature. There are less things to think about.

Thank you, I haven't even considered that. Quick look at the current state of Unity and it seems like it could be interesting. I like to draw [1] and the idea of drawing game art sounds appealing.
