Switching from Unity to Godot, preamble
I'm a programmer in my forties, I learned some Basic, Hypertalk and TurboPascal when I was younger, then Java, C, C++ etc etc at university, then PHP and various other web script stuff at work.
Around 2012 / 2013 I started experimenting with GameMaker, interesting for the first time but not good enough for me - I need a decent programming language :)
Then I switched to Unity. Initially this was a relatively good experience. The learning curve was ridiculously steep, but it was powerful and C# reminded me a lot of what I liked about Java and other OOP languages. It did feel as if a lot of basic features were being replaced by more complex, bigger subsystems that took a long time to learn and never seemed really finished or bugfree.
