Yes it's stupid.
I am 90% of my Unity developing time busy in a coding editor and not in the editor itself.
Same here
Once I have placed in the scene my characters, buildings, trees, lights etc I wonder what else shall I do more in the editor ?
I spend my time in tuning my game , by trial and errors
I change a variable , I run the game , I observe , I tweak my code etc
Such exercise take 90% of my time
I suspect that many people speak of games but they actually mean virtual reality
Anyway me and you are lonely wolves
Everybody seems to be interested in graphics only
