To be honest, initially the money. SF dev jobs are amongst the best paid currently. Nonetheless, along the way I did discover certain things in the platform that made it appealing.

The biggest advantage is possibly that thanks to the fact that since the Apex language and the frontend frameworks like VF and LCF are solely oriented to Salesforce development, you can focus on very high level problem solving. You don't have to worry about how to implement a Repository layer, or how to manage threads, because the platform already does that for you. The same goes for integrations, etc.

As for the training... Simply Trailhead, StackExchange and curiosity :)
