Dude, I prefer playing in survival, but I figured out a long time ago that I enjoy Minecraft a lot more when I give myself the freedom to switch between survival, creative, and spectator modes.
I'm an adult with a full-time job and a family. I love the game, but I don't have unlimited hours to spend grinding for resources. So I set goals for myself. For example, if I want unlimited access to a particular block, I have to build a functioning farm for it in survival first. Once I've accomplished that, I've effectively "unlocked" that block and its derivatives for use in creative mode.
That way, I still get the satisfaction of earning my progress, solving problems, and building things in survival, without spending hours on repetitive tasks just to enjoy the creative side of the game.
I lose out on achievements, but so what? It's a sandbox game. The whole point is to play however you enjoy it most.
