• Amazing name, with active and passionate technical and social development.  One of the top cryptocurrency developers + one of the biggest social crypto-enthusiasts interested in building long term future for Aeon.
• Dual-headed for-use case, aside from a potential future economy: Cryptonote idea test bed + 'Digital Luxury Object'
• No 1% perpetual dev mine.
• First serious inflationary cryptocurrency with a mathematically elegant 8/9% perpetual inflation, so miners will never abandon the network - there is always new Aeon to mine.
• If there ever was a 'Pegasus coin', this would be it.  My full support, savings, and passion are behind this project.
• Seeks to complement Monero, while also keeping it on its toes.

 
  
No undue animosity intended towards Boolberry; I'd much rather hold that than something like Dash or ShadowCash, but I honestly feel the short list in cryptocurrency right now is Bitcoin, Monero, Aeon, and then Ethereum in a distant fourth with Boolberry coming in fifth.  
  
I feel confident that Aeon is going to be one to watch in 2016 and afterwards.
