I suspect you're right - I spend a lot more time programming than playing music but have a stronger emotional attachment to my music gear than my coding environment.

Musicians call it GAS, Gear Acquisition Syndrome, e.g. I've got major GAS for an Ampeg amp.

I solved my GAS by replacing the A with C: Gear Construction Syndrome. Now I make myself build it if I want it and I can.
