What are the advantages of choosing UE4 over Unity?

On Unity, after months of work someday you’re going to open the editor and you’ll see this happened to all your game objects scripts:
The referenced script on this Behaviour is missing! - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions

Soon you’ll realize how hell looks like…

On Unreal 4, you’ll work for months and someday you open the editor just to see something like this:
100% blueprint project corrupted - UI - Epic Developer Community Forums

Immediately you know, it’s that hell moment too.

So… I’d say pick the one which works best for you with text based assets and always version control, do as much as you can through code and compare which one has more stable editor tools.
After 6 years engaged with Unity and 2+ working on UE4, I know what is best for me. Find yours :]

Well I just don’t want to waste my time learning both. I have never programmed before so I am just starting out with a book I got.

So I think I will go with UE4 C++ which sounds like the safest route.

I heard of Cry Engine etc but that is likely for big studios and people who know what they are doing.
