this seems a well-argued article to me the 'General directionless development' seems the most concerning point, I don't think the 'let's go with what the community ask\want' model is gonna work in the end.
what do you think?
I've been developing with Godot for about 2 years now and have loved every minute of it, personally
And then finally, I found this post., where a longtime contributor complains of the general lack of direction and philosophy, in March 2020.
Maybe there's indeed a lack of direction and philosophy, but I'd be careful with citing that specific PR, for it was made by someone known for making some rather bizarre accusations of godot and who is no longer a godot contributor due to their past behaviour.
Hopefully the donations will allow them to hire professional developers that will guide them in the correct direction. It's good enough for hobbyists like myself and I hope there is a potential that it'll grow to be a serious competitor for other engines.
