It's worth mentioning that the Arduino IDE now supports MicroPython, which will make getting started a lot easier for a lot of people. Most advanced IDEs do too.

As far as makers/peripherals go, I'm also a big fan of M5stack, which have a big range of controllers and peripherals and are very accessible & responsive on Twitter. Their stuff is very competitively priced, available stripped down or in enclosures suitable for pocket, industrial or even outdoor deployment, and it's super-easy to get started with.
