 From experience, for.

Most system API calls are considered asynchronous - you have to pass a "success" and "failure" callback to get a result.  That part is not fun by any means and a pain to debug.  Program code is heavily structured and in my opinion would be rather difficult for beginners to pick up.  Once you get the hang of it, it's not nearly as scary, but it took me quite a while to get to that point.

And yet I still prefer it to Java.  :)
