To each their own I guess :) Again this is why its nice that we have options :) People have different needs and preferences. No harm in that :)
Personally I would rather figure things out my self then use a bunch of plugins especially when making games only because it gives you the freedom to do literally anything and your not restricted by what the plugin has to offer :)
Sure you could toss together a game that is 90% some one else's plugin but whats the fun in that and its super hard to debug or expand on because the plugins doesn't do that one thing you needed haha
But again that's just me I totally get that plugin make it easier to get the idea rolling but feel like using too many and relying on them could stunt your abilities especially when the plug in maybe stops working or something D:
I've actually heard great things of unity but often oven also seen people struggle with it too. Same can be said for godot. Sometimes the node system isn't for everyone. Again personally I find it quite intuitive :)
