Why are you guys sticking to the ESP8266? I just found this subreddit in my recommend.

  A little Spotify remote to remind you that there's a lot of music out there.

This is a major feature. An example is this project https://github.com/quadule/knobby a spotify remote control on tt-go t-display. Its very battery friendly because the screen isn't on much, click the rotary encoder - boom its back in a second or two including connecting to wifi, spotify api and retrieving now playing info

  Arduino core for the ESP32

  

I started with ESP32, and even though I think it's an incredible value, I've grown to respect the 8266 more. In a head to head just connecting to wifi (manual ip addresses) and sending an email, the ESP8266 was a full 2 seconds faster (4 seconds versus the 6 of the ESP32). Turns out it might be an issue with WPA2 which I don't think was ever resolved. I also used a 2004 i2c LCD to display cnc coordinates and the ESP32 flickered while the Nodemcu worked perfectly. I admit it probably comes down to the individual boards but still, the 8266 surprises me the more I use it. It just works. It's not a jack of all trades, master of none like the ESP32. I think a lot of people (myself included) jumped to it because it was dual core and had bluetooth, but if you're not using those features, why use the ESP32?
