Why I like programming for windows phone.

Haven't been programming for windows for a long time now, but am looking at a bright future with microsoft. This is one programing language that I feel listens to my needs as a developer. with laid down rules on how to do things, fluid displays, streamline scrolling, bright colours. There is nothing to like about this platform. Applications that would take me months in other language take me less time when doing them for windows.  I would like to hear your story too... why do you like developing window phone applications?
