Losing My Drive

Internetz,
Sometimes I feel like I am losing my drive.  Maybe it's because my interest in client side coding trumps any other interest.  Recently I've been working on a C# project at work.  And while both myself and the lead developer have made considerable progress, my contributions to the project pale in comparisons to his.  Then again, he is the lead developer.  But today at work I got to thinking; I have far more greater interest in client side technology than I do server side.  And I know exactly why.  All client side technology is standardized (HTML5, CSS3, JS), while all server side technology offers a variety of choices ranging from OS, programming platform or script languages, to storage layer solutions (MySQL, PSQL, NoSQL, SQLLite, etc).  And while I'm sure that there varying reasons, good and bad, for choosing and utilizing a certain server side technology, I can always rely that client side technology, if implemented properly, will ensure a properly functioning web application across all modern browsers.  For know I'm working on server side code, but I know that will change with certain projects in the pipeline that will require me to do more UI work.
