This is about identical to where I was a few months ago. I started working in a very corporate environment (like, no casual Fridays even) out of college as a Business Analyst. They hired me to maintain and manage an off-the-shelf vendor system, which had all of the problems people usually associate with enterprise software. I thought I could do way better and wrote the app myself. After seeing the prototype, management agreed and green-lighted it. I learned a ton, because I was doing the full stack from database to css. But a place that doesn't employ developers doesn't usually provide a good environment for developers to work in. I felt like http://theoatmeal.com/comics/design_hell http://theoatmeal.com/comics/design_hell all the time. Not to mention they never adjusted my pay. So I grew unhappy, but was not necessarily in a hurry to leave. It's really not a bad position to be in. You have a job after all. Update your resume, and take your time finding your next position. I applied to my dream job with a startup and somehow got it and I couldn't be happier. It's awesome working with other developers. As for my previous employer, they weren't happy to let me go, but they didn't hire a developer to replace me -- too expensive. So my project is stagnant. They still use it and I learned a lot making it so it's no loss to anyone really.
