I think the original commenter just really likes "plug and play" solutions with a lot of hand holding which is what Unity is excellent at. The problems come down the line.
If you like things like Godot, Godot is the type of thing you will like.
Seriously though, Godot works way better for me using C# than it does with GDScript and the OOP structure means I can refer to classes by their identity.
It's definitely not a "way way better tool" and no serious game developer would say that. Everyone agrees that Godot has a lot of catching up to do but we're still using it because we believe in the foundation and what it will eventually become.
I'm a serious game developer, been in the industry for decades.
I would say that. Godot is a way way better tool.
There, I've falsified your claim.
But more seriously, it's a faster dev experience, it's more ergonomic, it's not cluttered with half baked "new" ways of doing things that don't do everything the old ways do. There's no reason to pick up Unity unless you are being paid to, IMO.
It does have hot reloading at some level. I use GDSCript for a lot of stuff and it hot reloads. And you can use live++ with it to have true top level hot reloading. We implemented a hacky live reloading for native code in shared libraries which works as well.
That doesn't make any sense. Unity may have a pedigree of being for beginners, but in recent years they can barely keep current documentation on their new systems. This smells like a comment from someone who has never used it.
Godot is objectively a way way better tool
