Lucifer is the best written character in the show.
Biases aside, we genuinely believe this. He has some of the most consistent writing, and despite how little has actually been shown of his past, his story is incredibly interesting.
We love that he goes against typical expectations of the devil. It'd be boring if he was just cruel and villainous... The interpretation that the series ended up going with is far more compelling: A deeply traumatized but well-meaning man who just wants to bond with his family.
We enjoy how him being the sin of pride is integrated into his character. He doesn't represent it obnoxiously; it's shown in more subtle ways, such as Lucifer initially being hesitant to confront Vox, but changing his mind upon Vaggi mentioning getting Alastor involved.

Lucifer also has the best singing voice in the show.
Again, even putting aside our biases, we believe this to be true... Though there are also other characters with amazing voices, like Charlie, Sera, Abel, etc.
Lucifer has such a beautiful voice. He hard carries every single song he's in, and it's not just us who feels this way. We've seen tons of people who prefer Lucifer's parts in Hell's Greatest Dad and Vox Populi (especially the latter). And More Than Anything is easily the best song in the entire series to us...
He has such a great vocal range. We feel like he could pull off singing any genre.

His design is great.
Definitely one of the better designs... The white and red color scheme is pleasing to the eyes, and we appreciate that the red is used a bit more sparingly than on a lot of the other characters. We are also a fan of his sharp teeth... They're super cute.
Teef...
We also like his forked tongue. We want to see him go sssss.
His demon form is adorable, as well. Seeing him attempting to be all intimidating with Vox is a little funny to us, since he's far too cute to appear threatening to us...
The silly... Cutie.
His wings are so cool and pretty. And we think the eyes on his coattails are a nice touch (even if we feel like the theme is overused in the show overall).
His tail is adorable... We love how it's as long as he is, if not longer (even if it may not seem like it from the screenshot above). We have a headcanon that his tail appears and starts wagging when he's really happy or excited. This has yet to be shown in the series, but we refuse to believe this isn't the case. There's no way it hasn't happened at least once before...
If his tail is ever shown wagging from happiness, we might decease.

His animation is nice.
We like how exaggerated his movements tend to be. He's so theatrical... Even during mundane conversations, he often acts like he's in the middle of some kind of performance.
Sin of pride! But he deserves to be prideful...
We also love this animation of Lucifer circling around Vox. It's really satisfying...

His love for ducks...
His adoration for ducks (and seemingly birds in general) is adorable... It hasn't been explained why he loves them as much as he does, but they appear to be a really important coping mechanism for him.
They make him so happy, and also provide him an outlet to express his creativity... We want him to go on an 8 hour ramble to us about the many ducks he's made. We would listen very attentively.

His love for his family...
He loves his family so, so, so much. They are everything to him.
Despite his personal views on sinners, he was happily willing to help rebuild Charlie's hotel and stay with her to support her dreams.
His depression and tendency to isolate himself makes him struggle with being present, but he's really trying his best for her. He wants her to be happy, and he becomes furious whenever anyone threatens that happiness.
And with Lilith... Poor Lucifer. Her disappearance has scarred him mentally. He misses her so much. Charlie simply asking him a question about her was enough to make him shed a tear, which implies that he cries a lot about her absence when alone...
Despite almost 8 years of hearing absolutely nothing from her, he still sees them as married and continues wearing his ring. And as shown in season 2, he messages and calls her constantly.
We think it says so much about him as a person that he still manages to be so loving...
