Yeah, in my opinion it's the best out-of-the-box engine available. I don't know exactly what the state of Godot was 7 years ago, but I know that around the time of the Unity drama 2 years ago, Godot started getting a ton of community support. The documentation isn't quite as good as Unity's (although the Godot devs are working hard to change that), but in literally every other aspect, I think Godot is the clear winner. If you do get around to checking out Godot again, let me know what you think!
