I think Microsoft oversimplified the mobile platform with WP7, even more so than Apple has. I don't like the UI either. I've also spent a lot of time developing apps for WM and its "standard" Windows API. I guess when I heard that WP7 would not be backwards compatible for my apps, I kinda lost interest. I love the Android platform, and it's growing fast. I don't think WP7 will get as much of a following as Android will have, so I want to develop for a more popular platform.
If I'm going to recode everything, I might as well do it for an OS people use this time.
I also like copy & paste and multitasking.
