I'm think Bevy is pretty neat. It's simple, fast and built in Rust.

Professionally in Unreal 5. Hate it with a passion. Not only is the engine a shared state leaking piece of s*it but the language(s) that come with it make the whole mess even worse.

In my free time I worked with Bevy which is really promising in my opinion. I hope their editor will be as amazing as the rest of the framework.
Recently I also tried Fyrox. It is nice, probably usable for some smaller things, but damn it feels a lot like Unreal again with going a OO-like paradigm. Of course little to no memory-safety issues it being developed in Rust as well (+ a runtime borrow checker they implemented on top to check on shared writes to Resources, Nodes, etc.), but compared to ECS it feels terribly clunky.

ECS just feel sooo right! Also, if someone needs a more mature engine than Bevy, don't go for Unity or Unreal - Take a look at Godot. It's FOSS and even supports Rust bindings (and I do think Rust the shit and will be a big deal in the future).
