It’s fun, open game. For 1 sacrificed pawn you get a lot of activities. I recommended it.

Evans gambit is OK according to Stockfish but you should study master games to know about common plans and attacking methods.

I do not play Evans but each time I play against it - “well, for only 1 pawn there is very strong attack?” And black should be very precise to avoid losing in opening.

I love the evans gambit, but to truly attack with it, you have to have a lot of midgame knowledge, which is why I don’t really play it, since it is very hard to convert an attack for a player under apprx. 1500 Elo

This is quite true to a certain extent, but I would replace "middlegame knowledge" with "positional understanding".
The Evans is not what most people expect from something with the word "gambit" in his name- it's not about brutal attacks, but rather grabbing space and strategically outplaying your opponent. No surprise it not being popular between the ~650 rated "aggressive attackers". A good opening, but not quite suitable for (post) beginners.
