The hassle of building the application for multiple platforms, the requirement of a Mac to package for iOS for example and the usage of Android Studio and xcode. Sometimes there are weird platform dependent errors that make you lose time.

The best thing that I like about Unity is once you understand how to use a big part of the tools that Unity gives you, create any project will be a process that you enjoy from the beginning. You can use the programming Language that you can feel comfortable...

The only drawback I found with Unity is that it has some graphical limitations where Unreal Engine excels. It also specializes in certain types of games such as 2D side scrolling games.
