Is there a subfield of software design that focuses on tools that are also games? Think Minecraft, which accidentally became the most popular voxel editor.
Could we do this for other editors? Make them into fun games instead of sterile and boring UIs?

Yeah, my biggest gripe with flashcard systems is they're hopelessly boring by always repeating the one and the same question. Duolingo gets to stick the words you're learning into many different sentences, which is more fun. Perhaps this is doable in other domains too.
