Ryan, a few years ago when my two year contract with my iPhone 3GS was up, I decided to switch to Android. Among the reasons were:

a) I felt Android would start becoming the industry leader vs. iOS, especially given its supposed "80% unit market share," (I now suspect that number may be inaccurate, but that's a different argument.)

b) As a tech geek, I felt that controllability and UI customization was more important than an all too easy-to-use interface.

c) I was getting my wife an iPhone 4S, so getting Android for myself meant that we can have both in our household.

Long story short, I had nothing but problems with my Android phone (Moto Droid Bionic). The UI customization was nice, but it was also necessary as my phone came with sooooo many garbage apps, I have to prune down what I saw on my main screens. The phone crashed one a week on average, and I even had to do a complete reset twice. The contacts that were imported from my iPhone 3GS to my Android were imported the wrong way, and it took me a week of researching on Google before I figured out a workaround. The battery life was abysmal. And finally the LTE service was spotty at best.

After a year of this nonsense, I finally gave up my Android and switched to iPhone 4S. Sure, I gave up some of the snazzy features of the Android UI, but the bottom line of iPhone is this:
