And one more trick for #Unity users: you can make a default scene to run it in the editor, and ignore what scene you are editing. It's very helpful to work with big projects, where you need an intro scene to load stuff, and then edit many other scenes and test them as part of the project.

Sometimes I criticize Godot 4 (alpha) due to very annoying bugs (for example, UIDs are not Unique for copies – issue #54774), but then I remember how far we can push the visuals with G4 – much better lighting and shadows, much more objects without performance drops.

And I forget about bugs!
