The ESP32 boards I own have bad support and are a bit of a hit and miss. (arduino nano esp32) Did this get better? Or is the support still messy?

That native sdk and the vscode plugin are very professional. There is a bit of a learning curve to get into it, but once you do, it's very functional and the developers are super supportive. They have fixed bugs for me in days.

Arduino nano are made by arduino using Espressif chips, and Arduino IDE support is indeed hit and miss.

ESP-IDF, the official C SDK, is a bit more work, and there is drama around platform-io, but it’s significantly more stable.
