The reputation will always go to whatever is the "best" engine, because that means it is easier to use, so the people who don't know what they are doing will flock to it. Unreal gives you the option of Blueprints, so naturally those people will flock to Unreal to avoid programming because it is the lowest barrier of entry. I wrote my game in C++ though not BP, because it's much better runs faster and you usually end with less bugs, but people see my game and go "I BET YOU CANT EVEN CODE YOUR GAME IS TRASH". Like yeah I used art assets it's allowed 99% of the people in the jam did too, but I made all my own code. People also see that I have good lighting and go "Yeah Unreal did all that for you" and it's like ??? I still had to do all of that lighting and post processing just like the Unity users, same as my code, same as everything else.
