I think working hardware serial on ESP8266 would kill all or most of the demand for software serial from ESP8266 users. I see that you checked in a change to fix this. I'm looking forward to testing it. It looks like I'll need to get a build working.
I've also had some experience using software serial implementations on other platforms (arduino in particular) and realized how awful it tended to be. It's still a nice thing to have, but my feelings on it's importance have fallen dramatically after seeing other software serial implementations in action.

Ok, I'll take a look at a release then - but I'll quickly change the analogRead thing, and tweak at least the serial receive handler.
I wonder whether all the comments on GitHub about wanting software serial would actually just go away if people used the existing hardware serial instead...
