Not GP but I'm a full time solo indie dev.

In my case the main issue with GDScript is the tooling, or lack of thereof. No symbol aware rename, no go to definition/usages, poor autocomplete, cryptic errors. Also static typing that's kinda but not entirely there, which exacerbates the tooling issues.

Good tooling is an enormous undertaking, so the way I see it, GDScript is forever doomed to feel like someone's impressive hobby project.

There’s a gdscript plug-in for IntelliJ IDE’s then you have all that.
There's a very barebones plugin that does simple syntax highlighting and code completion, more basic than the built-in Godot editor.
