For me!
This little girl is a full-fledged computer: Half a gig of memory, 2/3 GHz proc speed... not much by today's standards. Back at the dawn of the web, she would have been a supercomputer, though. Not bad for a 40$ board.
I've been tinkering with this one for the last couple days, and it's a bit of a shock to my expectations regarding computers. The big one is just how much her identity is removable. Pretty much everything you ever do on a raspberry pi gets written to her SD card, the same as it would be written to a hard drive in a conventional computer. And then you can pull that card, swap it for a completely different one, and you're on a completely different computer. It's a bit like working with a person, then stopping halfway through, swapping a new brain into their body, and then dealing with that new person.
