ESP8266 is not recommended for new projects though. Its age is starting to show.

HankB99 on April 24, 2024 [–]

Is that an Espressif or an ESPHome recommendation?

Were I designing a product that uses one of these I would certainly not use the ESP8266. For hobby projects, if I can buy them on Amazon, eBay or elsewhere, the 8266 remains a valid choice (for me.)
