I appreciate your comment. I keep an eye on other projects' progress, and I agree that few last months were active in ESP8266 community. Is my observation right that many changes in NodeMCU (finally upgrading from 0.9.6, switching from Lua to eLua) happened after original Chinese guys creators of the projects stepped back and let "western" guys do more maintenance? Regarding hardware support in MicroPython (first hardware protocols, the specific hardware devices), it's coming - Damien did a lot of work on that preparing to the Kickstarter, and some of it already seen in the KS video. Mind that MicroPython runs on many platforms, and providing portable and consistent API is one of our top goals. And that requires good design work, from many people (to cover different usecases and PoVs), and that takes time and committee-stuff ;-). But we now have solid foundation, so further progress is imminent. All in all, we always welcomed contributors (and have almost 100 of them), and exactly want to reach critical mass of functionality for ESP8266 port, so it made good sense to come by and contribute gazillion of smaller things people want ;-). So, please keep watching our space! Regarding ESP32 - one of my concern is to avoid typical situation of moving target, when software never works well enough, with constant promises that next generation of hardware resolves it, but vicious cycle only repeats. Otherwise, I guess it's fair to say that all active projects are going to support ESP32 too!
