Fucking exactly. And here to finish my article, a person that called Godot a "scrappy little engine" built by a "gameplay engineer".
Godot is obviously not a flawless diamond placed behind museum glass, but don't give me this bullshit that this article is written solely in the name of technical due diligence.
Well reasoned points.
Regarding your 2nd point, absolutely correct. But man does it look good in a hit piece such as this article. Appeasing the needs of the many is a delicate procedure that sometimes involves using in-engine data structures and not just fixed length arrays, much to the chagrin of the author. Less maintenance at the very least.
Regarding your 4th point, Godot can accommodate the need for precompiled shaders, it can add adapter layers around its Vulkanic render pipeline, it can technically play by console rules. But there is the one thing that it can't do. It can't just publish usage of a proprietary API to a public git repo. That will always be the albatross around Godot's ass. But I would pose the following question: is this a flaw of Godot or a flaw of the status quo, which forces FOSS into a permanent song and dance to be on equal footing with private enterprise?
