Why? Is it for a rational reason? Have you tried using their gear?
It was Windows Phone that finally pushed me onto iOS and Windows 8 that convinced me to move to MacOS.
I came into this game for the action, the excitement. Go anywhere, travel light, get in, get out, wherever there's trouble, a man alone. Now they got the whole country sectioned off, you can't make a move without a form.

My personal phone is a Lumia 830 upgraded to 10. Work is giving me an iPhone for work related stuff and I hate that interface with a passion:
-One button at bottom, I'm all confused when I need to press back to go to previous screen;
-All apps are always on the desktop, WP and Android both have customized list of apps on desktop and an all apps list which makes things easier.
And Android, I've got a tablet for apps I don't find on Windows Phone but I end up using it only to play games (these are basically the apps I don't have on WP).

Never found that a problem - had Android with a back button, seemed ok. Windows Phone back button was something else though, here's what I experienced:
* Open an app other than IE
* Open IE, go to a page (A), click a link to get to the next page (B).
* Open another app
* Go back to IE, click back - it takes you out of IE to the previous app. Click back again.. now what? Can I get back to page (A) in IE? If I remember right, I don't think I could, it just took me back to the previous app. Terrible design, hopefully they've changed that in later versions?

So your apps are displayed in a list rather than a grid? Hardly sounds like a deal breaker especially as you still like your favourite apps displayed in a grid..  It's probably a personal preference thing but I never liked the text-based screens in Windows Phone, just didn't seem to work design-wise on a mobile device.
Apple isn't perfect, far from it. I hate not having proper active widgets like Android on the desktop (why do I need to open the weather app to see what the current weather is like - yeah, yeah, changed somewhat in iOS 10, but still not exactly what I was hoping for  ).
The way apps are suspended on iOS doesn't seem to be as good as it was before, the battery meter is unreliable and some apps like the music app just seem to keep getting worse - Apple isn't the same since Jobs went.

I think you activated the one-handed mode[^] (what a weird name). I've never used it though, as I could reach the entire screen area even with one hand. But some people swear by it to be a very nice feature.

Is this for "one handed surfing"? 
If so, it explains a lot about Windows Phone users...

Its a feature and not a bug.
How typical.

Personally, I love my Windows Phone. Haven't moved to 10 yet, still using 8.
Between the members of my family we cover all the bases, and having used all 3, I think the Windows UI is the friendliest.
So, please keep on using that Windows Phone.

Then don't There are a lot of usability improvements in 10, but built-in apps are much less stable then those on 8. Also new Map app is worse then Here Maps

How do you like the phone overall? I'm thinking about moving over to one since I won't buy Apple products and I am concerned about recent firey Samsung design flaws.

Personally, I think there is nothing major wrong with Windows 10 or Nokia.
Minor UI glitches but overall its a good phone.
Pity they've sold out and closed (sort of).

If Samsung is your main concern with Android, have you checked out HTC? The HTC 10 is pretty spiffy, and has expandy memory and fantastic sound through the headphone jack that most certainly needs to be there and is. Camera is OK but not the best.
I'm not really a fanboy, but I've had the HTC One and now I have the 10 and I find them to be a great alternative to Samsung.

- Another 2 - my wife loves Windows Phones, but when she needed a new one last month there was only 1 Win10 Phone to buy from our Provider ;( - Anyway she is happy now - just to explain the resent Peak (+1) in sold devices
It gives you a warm feeling if you buy a WP - you feel like you have donated for the poor

So nice to hear that I'm not the only one who likes Windows Phones. I'm on my second and I really like it. I've got an iPad and my wife has an Android phone nut I just prefer the UI of the WP. The poor app support is a pain sometimes and in the UK the BBC iPlayer radio app is very poor but I've found apps to do all the things I want to do.
I fear Microsoft is going to leave me high and dry though.

Yes we are the last lot of supporters whom the 'non Microsoft' world curse as being idealistic.
And we might end up being dumped by Microsoft too.
