A ton easier!

Sure, reading the two inch thick book on programming your TI-83+ was informative, but God help you if you got stuck.

Now we've got Scratch (visual programming), Arduino (push button C compilation!), and StackOverflow full of the answer to most any problem of stacktrace you encounter.

I don't have to read a tome for hours or wait a day or two for a response on a creeky BBS. Much easier.
