The problem is that even ESP32 has only the 1 example of the "SimpleWebServer" which is absurdly more complicated than the "Webserver" of ESP8266.

This is because you've looked only at ESP-IDF, but there is also Arduino-ESP32 framework.
Although "WebServer" isn't present yet, it probably will soon, at least the AsyncWebServer.
But I've personally tried months ago to port the ESP8266 "WebServer" into Arduino-ESP32, and I got it working only after few hours of work.

Thanks for the quick reply, but this is not very encouraging, it looks like being too early for me to risk into this change, I think I can work around the lack of more pins, so I'm going to continue with ESP8266 until ESP32 has a wider library collection for Arduino. I love C, but with their SDK, is somewhat messing.

The way that a wider selection of Arduino libraries materialize for ESP32 is for the enthusiasts to port them. igrr and me-no-dev have worked wonders, but they are but 2 people. I find it somewhat disrespectful to the ESP32 Arduino team to suggest that they are not working fast enough for your needs.

Who said that ??? I think they did and are still doing a valuable job. Anyway, this matter is out of scope of this thread since no one said anyting against them; your opinions are welcome, but do not create embarrassing situations which in fact do not exist. I would be glad to see the subjects here keep a line as suggested in the title.
