I don't think Unity is nearly at that point for my use case. Part of the problem is that I tend to build games that require a lot of procedural generation and user created content.

I basically end up needing to build some kind of level/content editor for my end users, which removes a lot of the value Unity brings to the table.

Yeah, the usefulness of the editor really depends on the workflow.

If you're using procedural generation or using an external tool to design your levels, then the Editor definitely becomes a hurdle.
