I’ve been trying to navigate the differences and limitations in practice between the Arduino Nano ESP32 and Raspberry Pi Pico, and I’m at a point where I just want to get one of them and start experimenting. Possibly some other brand ESP32. My goal is to learn micropython and hopefully make some simple projects. My question is: is there a big difference for a beginner which I get in terms of online resources and ease of use, any pitfalls to be aware of or useful tips?

For the Pico take a look at circuitpython. Flash only once, after that you can write the code directly on the USB storage device the Pico creates.
You can even edit the python files using the web-ide circuitpython provides.
I really love the ease of use.
