> there is little creative way to explain why you left that either doesn't make you sound hard to please

You solve that by not explaining why you left :) but instead focusing on where you want to go, and how the prospective company is the ideal place to achieve that.



The company neutral "I got tired of the commute" is frequently also true and can be useful if the potential new company insists on knowing.


I'm fond of "I'm looking to move into X technologies, and your company looks like a good fit."

This had the added benefit of likely being true, and it complements the company without being sycophantic.
