I work in a small webdev shop, mostly maintaining existing projects, and work can be quite "menial" (as far as front-end can be) sometimes. What I do find incredibly rewarding is game development. I participate in game jams [1][2] - and the sheer enthusiasm of players with regards to your game is worth every hour of a stressful crunching weekend. I also maintain a restoration project for a deceased game [3][4], and while the community is small, sometimes we get new people who stumble upon their erstwhile favorite, and there are similar reactions. So yeah, I think game development can be quite rewarding when you are in touch with your community.
