ah there it is. Thank you gfvavlo
yes very good question. hm well one argument is "oldwards" compatibility to Arduino Uno / Mega
Whenever I would like to re-use some code written for ESP on an Arduino this would require re-editing or do you have a clever solution how to make things like
uint64_t currentMicros = esp_timer_get_time();
compile the same way as
uint32_t currentMillis = millis();
?
