I'm with Trebuchet, because of my experience with this stuff ( = nil).
The thing that appeals to me about the Arduino is that it's ready to go, and I understand the programming process - plug it into a PC serial port and install the code.
I wouldn't know where to begin if I also had to select components & make the platform.
How is an atmega or other IC programmed?
