Actually neither specifically. I prefer UE4 - it seems to have a better technological core and I prefer their approach to many different elements in the engine. Unity is great as well, don't get me wrong, they've had a lot of money for licences/upgrades out of us over the years. I personally struggle to see how they will keep up with UE4 long-term unless they address some of their built-up historic technical debt quickly. I think even though they are both to some extent 'free', competition is still healthy and should be actively encouraged.

I feel the technical debt is in UE's court. They're an engine designed for 100+ person teams where they assume you're a AAA developer and have lots of programmers to support your artists/designers. Unity is an app for making games. The difference in approach leads to vastly different experiences. It will be far easier to make Unity pretty than for Unreal to start being good at editing, good for small teams, good mobile, .. basically good at the things Unity currently does better than Unreal
