Excellent post, but in the context of this discussion, I disagree on one point: > a mature engine like UE, or Unity has a wealth of crowdsourced documentation, and it's almost impossible to trip over an issue that someone else hasn't already triaged before you C++ in UE4 is a nightmare to work with because you have to scour forums for a day and a half to find somebody who might have mentioned the name of the function you need. Great engine besides that, but that is a pretty big deal. Unity however - everything is the first page of search results. Incredibly valuable!
