I think this type of discussion can help the design team behind Godot to improve their practices and implementation, in the end it would be very healthy for the gamedev community to have a reliable and performance open-source engine as the "standard" for students, indies and AA projects alike. Godot is better than Unity on many sides, but the internal architecture is coming from a place where they relied too much on naive and inefficient OOP constructs, those can be very hard to optimize later. Performance should not be treated as a second class citizen when creating an engine, there are always solutions but it can be very time consuming to find workarounds to palliate design issues with the engine, it can also be a real motivation killer for a small team when they discover the framerate of their game on older/smaller devices...
