Opinions of Godot as a game engine? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I have plans for making video game, and so far Godot looks most promising out of free game engines (completely free and open source, native script language - GDscript - similar to Python which I know and from yt tutorials it seems very intuitive). Any couterarguments?

Actually, if you select "Remote" in the hierarchy, you can view the scene while its running. Kinda clunky workflow though

Yeah you can see the hierarchy change, but you can't actually watch the scene play out like you can in Unity. It's not a dealbreaker but it's by a wide wide margin the thing I miss most.
