I’ve got projects on both, but honestly the extra power of the ESP32 is sort of overwhelming. If I want to use DMA SPC on the 8266, there’s only one pin I can use. On the 32, I can choose between most of the pins, but certain choices will prevent me from using certain other features, not that I necessarily need other features right now but maybe later, and also it affects my circuit layout. So the mental overhead is a lot higher!
