Safe and Unsafe pins in ESP32 and ESP32-S3

I kept using the wrong pin on ESP32 and S3 while working with them, so here is my go-to chart of pins on ESP32-S3 on the left and ESP32 on the right.
All the pins marked with green are GOOD, reds are NO-GOs and oranges are either Input-only or Output-only or have some limitations, like could be used only with certain conditions met.
ESP-32-S3
Following is the list of all usable pins on an ESP-32-S3 module. The chart includes all usable pins in green, unusable in red, and restricted ones in orange. The gray ones are other pins, I will update them appropriately as we progress.

The following Chart/diagram shows the pin out of AI-Thinker ESP-32 Breakout board, along with the usability of all GPIO pins of the ESP-32-S3 module. You can use the same board for most WROOM modules except for C3 ones.
