Analog is much easier to DIY. Digital takes far more work and a wider range of
knowledge to get anything out. Analog is also generally easier to reverse
engineer to understand "how did they do that?"

I'm not saying one is better than the other just one is easier than the other. I
speak from some experience having built a computer using an 1802 processor, TTL
chips and SRAM for digital. My 80+ analog modules were far easier to build.
