Problems
For the ESP32, some example programmes showed errors when compiling.
Conclusion
The library is used by manufacturers like LiliyGo to control their displays. It's extensive, but this also makes it very large. So large, in fact, that it won't fit on an Arduino. I've used the library a few times myself, so I can't give a judgement on its performance or other characteristics here. Alternative libraries are available from Adafruit and Sparkfun.
