If you are using the ESP8266 with Linux as your development environment, you propably know the annoyances of manually pressing buttons or connecting jumpers just to get the SoC to boot from its flash chip, of using many different tools to flash your program and of AT commands that just don't work when entered because of some line ending problems. It doesn't have to be that way! ESPTerm is a minimalistic, yet powerful serial port terminal for ESP8266 development in GNOME and other Linux desktop environments. ESPTerm automatically sets up the ESP8266 so that it boots from the flash chip and has an option to automatically disconnect, flash your project to the ESP8266 and connect to it again in normal boot mode.
I made ESPTerm mostly for my esp-open-sdk projects, but it should also work with other programming languages. ESPTerm is written in vala and runs on systems that have GTK+ 3.16 or higher, tested with Archlinux, Ubuntu (15.10+) and Fedora(23+).
I hope this is a very useful, nicely designed tool both for advanced users, but especially for beginners that want their ESP8266 development experience to be as painless as possible.
I'm looking forward to your feedback on GitHub or in this thread. More information is on GitHub.
