IMHO, after enough years, it becomes less about wanting to learn the new framework etc. and more about wanting to actually accomplish a specific thing. Put in

Put in another way of saying it, when you get tired of the constant pace of change of our toolsets, it becomes more about the problem and solution rather than the specific tool you use to solve it.
Don't get me wrong.. I still do love learning all the latest and greatest, and keeping my hands on the tools. But over time, after a long time of getting distracted (or even disrupted by the "need" to keep learning new stuff), I feel at least that it can get tiring and to the point of interrupting any actual productive labor towards a bigger goal. So I agree with you.
