I think I've left jobs for all of these reasons.

Don't forget there is also "better opportunity" as a reason to leave. Your current job could be fine, but there's a better one available. A bit of a gamble, but often a good reason.

Being able to a leave a job that doesn't fit (for any reason), is vital to your career.

I find that by the time you start asking yourself the question, "Should I quit?", it's about the right time to do so. Or at least, force the current job to change.

A better opportunity is a solid addition.

I think we, as developers, are super privileged that our skills are in such demand and that there are ample opportunities out there for us. So whether it's seeking better opportunities, or seeking an improvement on the current situation, we're so fortunate that most of us have the opportunity to make changes.
