I've been trying for years to motivate myself to redo my web site (backend, frontend and admin). Either I'm too tired, prefer to watch paint dry or, when I do sit and work on it, I end up spending my time fighting with the toolset and not getting anything done.
A mix of things. .NET Core (mostly tamed), Vue.js and other JavaScript stuff. I kind of gave up trying to use that under VS and trying VS Code and WebStorm. But I haven't touched that in a few weeks. I needed to take the brain offline during the holidays.
I've also made the switch to VS Code. There are some limitations but it runs so much faster.
As far as losing the drive to code, I find that when I have even the smallest motivation to write code the best thing for me to do is to lean into it. Ride that wave until it's gone! And then don't feel bad when you walk away for a week or two. Also having a team can help a ton. I built an app over the course of a year with 2 friends. Just having someone with you can sometimes keep you motivated.

What sort of toolsets are giving you grief?
