I have been using 4.0.1b for a week now, long days of learning and fun. It is simply great, I think it is best professional development tool to target micro-controllers of multiple chip makers. I used it with Arduino libs, hardware specific stuff doesn’t get bundled with application (like Keil or TrueStudio). Debugging works nicely, once I got hang of it. Takes a bit of effort to figure out how to wire ESP32 to ESP-Prog and to set software switches. I hope you keep on developing this product:)
