I agree so much with your latest paragraph. I'm currently working on a software that helps telcos decide the placement and configuration of mobile network cells and antennas, and it's like you said: it's actually a very interesting and deep problem, the pay is good, and since the users are engineers, it doesn't matter that the UI is just average looking as long as it does what the application manual says. The application is huge but reasonably maintainable.
I worked for about two years and a half in web development, and in one case the application was widely, widely used. Everything was on fire and users complained constantly. Saying that I don't miss it would be a big understatement.
