Blueprints may be awesome for prototyping, but I have interviewed numerous lead and principal level engineers who worked on big Unreal games and the first thing they mention about Blueprints is that they aim to convert them to native code the moment they can.

Most of game dev is prototyping though. This isn't too big of a problem. Converting well written bp to c++ is pretty easy.
Yeah I agree. Just personally I love visual programming and wish there were more advancement on the field. And Blueprints is one of the better solutions available now.
