Is it even worth it for aspiring Indies?

Unity feels easy (but it is not) because of the .NET framework which has a library for anything you may think of.
The problem there is, many .NET “scripters” don’t really know programming, because they rely on .NET to be able to build anything…
When a platform has no access to C# and .Net libs, they have no idea what to do, claiming Unity is easier to work with.
