That page is absurd. I'm on a pretty good internet connection and the image in the background, of sheep for some stupid reason, was loading slowly in chunks. I'm really starting to hate pages that think they need giant stupid high-res images in the background.
Well, cheaper, no. But easier wouldn't be hard. I have two nodemcu-s, and getting the toolchain to work on OSX or Ubuntu has been a series of headaches - drivers are nontrivial, flashing updates is touchy, etc.
