glTF is a growing 3D format and has received massive adoption in the game industry. Commonly selected as the format for new software and game engines, glTF can also have new functionality added using extensions. You can now export your Godot scenes to glTF to get it back into Blender or other apps and make edits continuously.

The approach chosen by Godot for live editing makes it really easy to create content on the fly, have it replicated in the running game, and keep your changes when the game is done running. The disadvantage is that, unlike other engines, it's more difficult to see the values of scenes and nodes in the running game.

About shaders. For most game developers, shaders are this scary monster that presents itself with such a complexity that it seems out of reach. In reality, shaders are quite simple by default and just get more complex the more you add to them. Shaders in Godot. Configuration parameters are sent via uniforms.

Is solving these problems enough for Godot to become a top AA / AAA game engine? Godot, at its core, is and will always be (by design) a very general purpose game engine. This mean that the tools provided, while certainly capable, are still game neutral. The answer is “it depends”.
