There is only one email app, not seperate apps for exchange / imap and gmail.
The goofy mail experience was a big turn-off for me last time I tried switching to Android.
The quality of apps on iOS is vastly superior to Android.
This might be true on average, but in my case, I only really use a handful of apps with any regularity, and they all seem to be around parity on both platforms.
This hasn't always been the case. I've switched between Apple and Android about three times. The most recent time, just a few months ago, I stuck with Android. Because while the long tail of apps on iPhone look and work better, the top-100/top-200 apps an Android are roughly on par with those same apps on iPhone. Since those are all I use, the question turns to OS feature-sets, and Android has iOS beat on that front. If you're in to mobile gaming, though, you probably need to have an iPhone.
And the top 3 apps I use many times per day: email, maps, calendar are way way better on Android at least if you are using gmail. Without exaggeration, if you use gmail the main experience on Android crushes iOS.
