I switched to iOS recently. It is worse in every conceivable way. It's much buggier, harder to use (lots of hidden UI and surprising inconsistencies), and less flexible. I can't change defaults, and Siri is unfathomably bad.
I'm not going to switch back for only one reason: iMessage. I'm using a phone/OS that I absolutely loathe every day and causes me rage aneurysms, but the iMessage network effect is too strong for me to switch back.
This is why regulators need to do something about the wireless market (operating systems, carriers, and app stores). These companies don't have to compete the way they should.
