I use WP7 because it has a lot of apps and the nice metro UI. iPhone and Android look jaded in comparison, just like a desktop UI on a phone., But HN is a wrong place for this poll, there is a sizeable section of people who are anti-MS on here and there are even people who call commenters who say anything pro-MS as paid shills. Numbers of wp7 phones in the US might be between 2 million and 4 million now and the developer tools are supposedly pretty good so some devs are reporting that it's easier to make apps for WP7 compared to other OSes.

Those numbers are a bit off, I believe. The 2-4m is probably devices shipped to carriers, not necessarily devices sold to consumers. Also, considering the number of device activations on Android, this is a drop in the bucket.

This is the first time I've heard anyone say that the number of apps is a strong point for WP7. Surely if this is an important criterion then Android or iPhone is 10x a better choice.
