For me, I prefer JALv2 (Just Another Language v2) . It is an open- source language for PIC microcontrollers. It's not hard for beginners and has a fairly active group of people that are willing to help and answer any questions you may have. They are constantly adding and improving on libraries. They also have an open-source development board (Jaluino) similar to the Arduino with many pre-written samples available. Jaluino uses the shield architecture like Arduino (although slightly bigger) and there is an adapter shield that will allow you to use most Arduino shields with Jaluino. It's worth a look.
