Windows phone development isn't all that bad. For starters there isn't as much competition as Android/iOS, so the chance to become the defacto app in your category is greater. And being a big fish in a small pond can work just as well as the opposite.

I completely agree. I've also found that the relatively few users of windows phone tend to be more passionate about supporting developers on their platform, so it's much easier to get attention for good applications from the windows phone subreddit and windows phone dedicated new sites. Obviously this is due to there being fewer WP developers in the first place, but it's easy enough to take advantage of nowadays.
