I got into HO because that is what I received when I was 8 or so years old.  I
stayed with it when I picked it back up later because, although the toy engines
no longer worked, I had tons of track and other accessories.
 
At that time, had I been picking up the hobby new, I may have gone with N scale
due to space considerations.
 
I am glad I did not, though, as now that I am older I think fumbling with the
smaller sized parts would be discouraging.  If I was picking it up new now, I
*might* even consider O scale over HO because some of the scale parts in HO are
still pretty small.  While my eyesight has always been questionable, it seems
like manipulating small detail parts has become increasingly difficult now that
I am older.
