ECS, Do you love it? Or hate it?

Entity component systems... Are they the future, or just a fad?

Absolutely worth it. Mainly for just being able to easily manage the spaghetti that game code is, but also for performance. It is both the past and the future.

I started gamedev with bevy which is ecs and I have no idea how you would go without out. I've tried unity but it also seems all components.

Different types of Components. Unity developers like inheritance, which the rest of the development community has figured out just leads to spaghetti, so obviously Unity games relies a bunch (usually) on inheritance.

Components in ECS is nothing like that.

I hate it if an engine forces me to use it, but I use it sometimes when I am given a choice.
