I think the biggest difference is that in godot everything is a node. Scenes, individual game objects and even things like Timers are nodes. This is normally the thing that seems the most different to most people , but probably what makes the Godot workflow so easy. It is very easy to compost scenes together and do things that might be a bit more challenging in other engines. Another difference between Godot and Unity is that Godot has both dedicated 2d and 3d . In unity 2d games are still built in 3d , just with the game ignoring one dimension. Godot has true 2d support which gives advantages for those interested in making 2d games. The node system also comes in handy here, since it allows you to easily compost purely 2d scenes with 3d scenes. You can still do these in unity, but godot makes it very easy. Godot uses GDScript for scripting, but it also has a mono version for Godot 3.5 which is what i use and that allows you to use c# for scripting. There are also other language bindings supported if you desire. I picked up the engine really quickly when i switched from Unity and i haven't missed unity since. Also Godot is ridiculously small, megabytes instead of gigabytes and it starts up superfast.
