I'm glad I'm not alone with my frustrations over Unity. I feel like Unreal is clumsy as well for new developers, so it's a choice between which shortcomings you prefer. Can't wait for a new engine to fill in the gap.
Everything else with Unity is pretty easy. I hate Blueprints or any visual scripting. In the long term Blueprints don't build any real skills, and I learned to program with Unity.
