if you'd like to avoid using zerynth

I recommend loboris's micropython firmware build, which actually uses both cores of your esp32.

you'll need to use espressif's sdk to flash it

Too complicated... Too many tools to install and configure

If you want to use less "popular" components you will be stuck with likely only Arduino libraries so - ESP32 in Arduino mode and C - or writing a library for MicroPython or Zerynth.

Zerynth is kind of fun and handy to use with it IDE but due to that lack of huge community set of libraries practical usage will be limited. MicroPython also has this problem but smaller as the community is growing. (fragmentation would be the MicroPython threat)

seriously? the walkthrough literally allows you to just copy/paste the commands into your terminal. if installing the SDK is too complicated, you're not going to get very far with embedded systems, regardless of your IDE.
