Have half a dozen M5Stack based devices using ESPHome. There's a big community supporting that. When I tried developing using an IDE found them more troublesome.
ESPHome is really a game changer when it comes to developing IoT devices. Unless I'm working with some esoteric hardware like GPS or LoRA, I'll load ESPHome on the device for when I'm prototyping.
As much as I despise IDE's for embedded systems development, I've become quite a fan of the PlatformIO IDE solution .. its quite comfortable, and being able to switch to PlatformIO-CLI tooling has made for a "best of both worlds" scenario.
