One of the big winners of the Unity debacle is the free and open source Godot Engine, which has seen its funding soar to a much more impressive level as Unity basically gave them free advertising.

Awesome! Hope they'll be able to work on the backlog of promised features more instead of kicking them down the road to the next version.

To be fair, every single project regardless of proprietary or open source has a backlog like that. It's just that open source projects show the backlog and don't have marketing people telling what is and is not in the backlog.

All software development has issues that are simply left unfixed. Some bugs are hard to fix, and don't really matter in the long run.

Example: they don't even bother with memory management on cruise missiles, since eventually its gonna reach its target...

I think the priorities for Godot with the new funding should be:

  • Improving Composition performance
  • Working to reduce overhead on GDScript to further improve 3D performance [1]
  • Enhancements to tooling for content generation
  • Documentation and Tutorials
