I also love grammar.
Personally I think that grammar gets more interesting once you're more advanced. Because then you can see a big picture. For example, when I was studying English as a child I found tenses very confusing. Till I actually saw them all put into a table and it became so easy.
I had a similar feeling when I understood where the Korean future tense ending 을 거예요 is coming from.
Probably people who like science tend to like grammar more. Although I have a few students (I teach English) who really like science and hate learning grammar, so maybe this is not the rule. But they usually just don't like learning languages.
But it's good to know I'm not the only grammar geek here :)
