Now this is really interesting! I've been a fan of M5stack for a few years and promote them here often. Up to now, the products have been mostly great but sometimes the documentation has been a bit lacking. Expressif does a fantastic job on documentation and if they can lift M5stack's game here it would be a big step forward.

As far as I know this took them a while to learn. In the beginning they were your typical weird chinese chip maker, but people volunteered effort into documenting their products because they were just that good. Now they've learned to do it themselves and can probably help M5 with it too.

M5Stack has a lot of cool little "almost ready to go" modules, both core (esp32 based typically) and accessory (ex sensors). They're relatively inexpensive and great for hobby/prototyping. One of the things that might be a bit different is that M5Stack has had decent Python support and Espressif has typically only done the core C-based stuff. But I'm optimistic. Hopefully this just means more access to newer chips so…
