We may find that there are more habitable giant moons (like Callisto/Europa/Ganymede size) than habitable planets outside the solar system.That would be a way kewl place to live. Imagine what earth's sky would look like if the moon filled half of it!

The only problem would be that the worlds would more than likely be tide locked to the dwarf and only a strip of the land would be actually habitable. The rest would be in a permanent ice age and a desert on opposite sides of the planet.
Of course, the view would be most impressive especially if the dwarf has an extensive rocky ring system.

I could imagine the planet/moon to tide locked to it's primary planet and still have all parts illuminated by the star.
Compare to our own moon. Only the extreme polar regions don't have a 'month' long day cycle.
