You can buy an MSP430 dev board form TI for $5 with more features but the thing about the Arduino is that somebody with NO knowledge of embedded programming can go from box to flashing LED in <5mins.
I have spent longer than that trying to work out which target configuration I have on some embedded systems (Yes Keil I'm talking about you!)
