Dynamic instability during transition.
I started out with an AVR and an STK-500, and I think it's not hard to understand and makes more sense in the long run, but I understand why the Arduino is so popular--it's easy, self contained, and there's a huge community of people using it. Same reason people used to use the BASIC Stamp instead of just targeting the PIC directly. For a non-programmer non-hardware person, these make a great starting point.
