What bothers you the most when looking for ESP32 resources?

I hate the there are tons of different ESP32 based boards, sometimes unnamed ones, etc., sometimes the pins are mapped weirdly and undocumented...
But i guess that's what you get when the microcontroller is so cheap. And you cheap out on the Chinese clones of boards...
What is your biggest frustration when working with ESP32?

Waiting for the P4 to be fully released
Sounds like you have been bombarded with cheap clones. Stick with the main stream ones.
Can't go wrong with the ones from Espressif, from reputable sources like Digi-key or mouser.
My go to module for most things I make is the M5Stamp ESP32S3 Module

I like this one because I can solder it directly to my PCB.
They also have another with pins soldered on.

And yet another if your want even more I/O pins.

I usually try to stick with espressif built boards. Have not had a problem yet.
