I think it's more a matter of balance. Coding "non-stop" can be a bad habit, coding only at work can be a bit unsastifying... I like to try a lot of stuff my work does not allow me to do... New frameworks, new languages, new plateforms, or old ones I've never tried... Other kind of development : I'm a web developer and I like that, but I'd also like to create games, electronic stuff with arduino or phone applications etc.

Having other hobbies is really important, of course ! But if you like coding, why not having this as a hobby ?

Note : I'm responding without having read all the answers, I'm confident I'm not the only one who's thinking like that ;)
