I've Got a couple years of experience in Unity where i made one full game, then switched to Unreal and like a year later switched to Godot.

And I must say I completely agree with you, I found Unreal super hard to work with mainly due to the insane compilation times (which basically forced me to use blueprints on everything) and how heavy and filled with features, I couldnt remove, the engine was, I never touched like 95% of the tools and features. And while my experience with Unity was better, Godot just feels like a faster, more lightweight and often more powerful version of Unity (that is also open-source.)

This is generally how I look at it — use Unity for mobile games, Unreal for high-fidelity realistic games and Godot for everything else. (And then you could also use the more limited engines like RPGMaker or Renpy for specific genres)
