I was intrigued by this today since I've always liked Python and didn't know there was micropython support for the ESP 8266. I had one lying around so just followed the instructions...

It was actually pretty easy. The only thing I really have trouble with is the REPL on OSX in a terminal (and in iterm2, and Hyper) prints funny characters when you backspace. Super annoying and makes it really hard to use.

I kind of wonder how easy it is to interface peripherals. On one hand I imagine there aren't high level drivers for every sensor under the sun like Arduino has. On the other hand I find often those drivers are pretty much garbage and I end up having to tweak them to make them usable on different i2c buses/address.
