I haven't touched Android development for a few months so I might be out of date. In particular I very much disliked their scroll view and list view implementations. I found Android to be a mess in general, API wise. Things seemed much more ad-hoc and less thought out than on iOS. And I have some very specific disagreements with their API design choices (or lack of them). As I mentioned in my original post, Android seems to lack the built-in high-level rendering, audio, typography, language and other frameworks of iOS.
I've never found the screen density stuff to be an issue on iOS — I always design and render my UI elements directly as vector graphics (PDF). This is almost impossible to do efficiently on Android (no native PDF rendering API).
I really have no idea what you're talking about when you mention my "fear." I am more than happy to develop on any platform. I just find Android much worse than iOS at the moment. If it gets better I'll happily switch.
