I have occasionally worked on personal programming projects outside of work, but like others have said, only if it's something I find fun or engaging.

I think a good question to ask is why are so many employers not providing time for their employees' professional development? I'm fortunate enough to work for an employer who encourages some professional development on the clock, and I think this should be the norm, even though I know it's sadly pretty far from the current state of things.
