Next year i feel unity will do better as unity 7 seems to fix a lot of it ‘s issues with compile times and speed, so well’l see. Either way congrats to my baby godot.
Agreed. For the most part, it isn't the engine itself that's the concern, but the company behind it. Forced user accounts and that awful hub app aren't doing Unity any favors either.
