I like the RP2040

I heavily disagree. I‘ve been working with the Espressif ecosystem for a couple of months now and it‘s the best documented microcontroller platform out there.

Completely agreed. ESP-IDF is incredible and the dev experience is miles beyond STM32 (my opinion).

STM32 is horrible, if you don't want to use the HAL.. Everything I used (Atmel, ESP32, rp2040) was better than that - Tho I heard NXP is bad.

STM32 is great if you choose to use the community-maintained Embassy HAL for these chips. Zero vendor code, async/await - it's a dream.

The same code will more or less run abstractly on an RP2040, as well (for common peripherals/traits.)

Meanwhile NXP is producing 3000+ page PDFs with behavioral examples.

Only if you use their SDK. Quite a few parts of the chip lack actual register-level documentation, not so on the 2040.
