func_godot works better than I expected it to the first time I used it, properly imports and compiles triggers, lights, materials, sounds, etc straight from trenchbroom so you really can do 90% of your work in trenchbroom. It's awesome for prototyping!
It's great when you have it set up but there's so a fairly gnarly amount of ritual magic needed to set it up. I kinda wish it was first part integration, especially given the extremely lackluster 3D level editing abilities of Godot itself.
Godot feels very much held back by how much stuff you need to do in 3rd party apps with flakey or nonexistent integration. Software developers often get shit for the learning curve of IDEs, but nothing has the "damn girl, you live like this?" energy as open source gamedev tooling. Even something pretty basic like doing texture painting in Blender? Jesus H. Christ. Makes The GIMP seem more polished than anything Apple put out at the peak of its polished days.
