I love the engine but why is it so bare bones?

There might be some areas where the engine needs more, but I honestly disagree a bit.

Unreal is constantly being loaded with new features every PR. It’s getting annoying. Features and systems that were working have been broken and backlogged, and things that have been broken for a while remain broken. While some of these can be fixed yourself with some time, or searching out pull requests on github, it’s just frustrating. Some features get added and never fully developed, sorta left in that state (gives options for users to expand on it though)

Since 4.12 it’s been a case where moving to the next engine version seems like a toss up between a new feature or optimization and a system that was working, that will be broken in the next version… and you can already see it is backlogged for a fix x.x

The final engine version withou bug, another of the chimeras that have the beginners.
But that has easy cure, start creating games for clients or publishers that impose hard deadlines or you do not collect money.
Quickly learn to stay in a version throughout the project, take care of the bugs that accompanied you during the development, even make some of them a feature of the game
and of course the wonderful world of workarounds in which you will soon become a master.
