Necessary tasks are boring and it takes persistence to continously do what needs to be done. On the other hand checking various frameworks and endless rewriting may be considered fun by some. They're learning new things.

For the record I know how it feels as I've got a similar experience at work, people flock to new and shiny where old and tested works well and gets the job done.
