Favorite part (I'm gonna go with the American spelling, sorry!) is the feeling of invincibility when refactoring. I get some exciting idea for how to make my code cleaner, and I just do it. I don't worry about regressions, and lo and behold, when it all compiles again it still works! That feeling never seems to get old.
Worst part? Being smack dab in the middle of two communities that are almost polar opposites. Many people coming to Elm from JavaScript want Elm to be more like JavaScript, and many people coming from Haskell want Elm to be more like Haskell. I see Elm as its own thing—neither "JavaScript enhanced" nor "Haskell simplified"—and I've sometimes struggled to engage constructively with groups who don't see it the same way.
