Why is piloting a helicopter considered more challenging, despite not requiring much space to take off and land and being able to stabilize in the air and stand still?

Already enough real good answers up above, but here’s a good thought for you:

Every now and then there’s a real life story or a study involving random people with very little or no flying experience at all suddenly having to try and land an airplane, usually with some kind of outside guidance. In a surprising number of these cases they actually manage to kind of pull it off and survive.

Have you *ever* heard of that happening in a helicopter?
