Very good post. A lot of it rings true with my own experience and it seems like you've found a lot of good ways to work with what you've got, instead of around or through it.
I also like "addressing the pain" - a bit too much. I seek out pain just to build tools that address it, because that's almost always more fun than the task itself.
If someone paid me just to build things that improve people's personal workflows I'd take the job in a second.
