I've been playing around with a few ESP32 projects recently and my biggest complaint is that it's hard to get off the ground with even the most basic peripherals. Like, an SD card reader - you need to get your own SPI reader and solder it in yourself. Maybe I'm just spoiled but it feels like I shouldn't have to go design something on PCBWay.com to get an esp with any memory above the 4MB flash. Still, really powerful cool devices for their form factor and power needs.
