I agree. I hope they come down a little, but honestly they'll need to drop below the price of a C.H.I.P. ($9) for me to be interested. Considering I pickup Nodemcu boards for $7.50 each, that's a tall order.
If you are thinking of projects that will touch the internet, look at nodemcu you can use the same Arduino coding interface (ide)
In any event, start with blinking an led, make some mistakes, get stuck, ask for held, learn, and have fun
Just wanted to provide an update here, I'm a beginner so bare with me if I say anything wrong:
Issue: Firmware flash results in strange characters at the end of the flash using ESP_Basic_Flasher.exe. No wifi ever comes up after reboot with ESP_Basic_Flasher.exe or ESP8266Flasher.exe. Image example here: http://i.imgur.com/uNtwibK.png ...the same strange characters appear when attempting to view terminal
Issue 2: Format Flash with ESP_Basic_Flasher.exe results in 'esptool.exe has stopped working', and a blank 'Notice' popup. Image example here: http://i.imgur.com/4J3Kfvs.png
I have tried:
Bought from Amazon, like $8.79, Prime.

Just got it today, and never had it loaded with anything at this point.
I also just ordered 2 more from this one.

Here is the route I'd go down. It's gonna be a bit complex though, but almost all home automation stuff is complex at this point.
Glossed over a metric shit-ton of detail, but like I said.... this whole "home automation" space is still pretty chaotic and complex. If you are in the apple ecosystem and have an appletv, you can also do a similar thing with HomeKit, HomeBridge and MQTT.
Your other alternative is to simply buy a damn dimmer switch from Phillips Hue that works with their light bulbs and call it a day. They are a very high quality dimmer, honestly.
