NodeMCU is a contender for best ESP breakout too. It's good to know alternatives.

  What do you like about it? I have a few, but I don't like how many redundant/unusable pins it has and how big it is. I generally find it better to recommend one thing to new people than to inundate them with options that they can't differentiate between and that, ultimately, won't matter to them. If you don't know what you want to get, what service am I doing you by showing you many different options that are more or less the same, and which you don't know enough to choose between?

    Here is a nice article about dev board comparisons. http://frightanic.com/iot/comparison-of-esp8266-nodemcu-development-boards/ http://frightanic.com/iot/comparison-of-esp8266-nodemcu-deve... wemos has a smaller form factor, but lacks breakout, has the ch34 and is headless so maybe not suitable for beginners like i think of the nodemcu. edit: also I'd like to add that the nodemcu and sparkfun thing already have a esp32 upgrade available where the wemos has not. But hey, just my opinion.
