TL;DR Unity -> Godot transition: after 13 years in unity, it took me 4-6 weeks of getting adjusted, and now iโ€™ll never go back. it has quirks, like other engines. thereโ€™s bugs. but itโ€™s free, basically equally capable, and well reported issues get fixed quicker than in unity (sometimes within hours)
