#6Android offers a huge and open api surface, and you can replace many user facing parts of the OS - alternative dialers, launchers, etc are fair game. There are fewer bounds on your creativity than many other platforms.
Android also offers an enormous variety of hardware, which includes very low spec affordable devices. Getting good performance on these devices requires effort put into efficient software design and an optimized implementation, and that constraint makes programming more enjoyable for certain types of people.
I've been developing for Android for about 11 years. Like all platforms there are bugs, there's legacy code, not every task you do is equally intellectually rewarding, but I've stuck with it because it's fun and I'm always learning new things.
