I recently switched to Android for a few weeks. I got a Nexus 4 for development and decided I'd move over to learn as much as I could about using Android. I really liked it but I switched back to iOS for a few reasons:
1. After PRISM I don't like having all my information with Google. I'm willing to give up privacy to a point but giving it all to one company worries me and I trust Apple more as their business doesn't involve using/selling my information.
2. As an iOS dev I've been using iOS 7 for the past couple of months and it is really nice. It took a little while to adjust to the new UI but I really like it and they seem to be doing some Google Now style stuff with the notification centre which was one of the big Android selling points for me.
3. The fact that Android is so flexible and open is very useful and there are some great apps available. But I've found that iOS I just a little slicker. iOS runs just a little smoother. Comparing identical apps on each platform (Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter etc.) the iOS ones are just a little smoother and nicer to use. This is one of the big things I've noticed. iOS may have some tradeoffs but it is just a lot nicer to use.
