I upgraded to an iPad Mini from an iPad 3. I'm quite happy reading on the Mini's screen. Yes, I can see it's not as crisp but it's nowhere near as bad as the iPad 1.

Whilst doing this in combination with backing up the app files will protect you from any accidental upgrades it's getting harder to stay at a specific iOS version. If you need to reinstall your device for any reason you're forced up to the latest version. A disaster if you're jailbroken.
Jailbroken iOS > Android, the combination of freeing your device and actually having some apps that aren't Twitter clients, movie players or web browsers wins by miles. Unjailbroken and it's harder to argue that point.
I have WordPress running on my iPad. I can use the GitMongo app from the AppStore to check out my code and edit it in Textastic (essentially a Sublime-like editor). I'm sure I could run PHP/mySQL on Android but there just aren't the polished Git/Text editors/etc. it's that combination that keeps me on iOS.
I've got a couple of Android devices but the software side is still lacking, if you want to use a tablet to do some actual work the software plays a much more important part in choosing a platform than the hardware.
