The setup.
My first language was GW-BASIC on an IBM compatible. Turn on the machine, type GWbasic and hit enter. You get the IDE, the editor and everything else in a single shot. Zero barrier. You could write decent programs in it and gave you that ongoing sense of achievement. Nowadays, you have a long series of things to do (clone a template, setup your editor/environment, download this and that etc.) just to get started.
