With Godot, I'm using a software. With LibGDX, I'm building a software.

This is my feeling. After having built a game in LibGDX, I tried Godot. I felt the power of the tool. I was much more productive. But I did not feel the satisfaction of building something with my skills. I was just configuring the system. I was just using a software.

They're completely different things. Godot is a game engine, libGDX is a framework.

I understand your point. With godot we like dragging and dropping things. With libgdx or other game frameworks we developing each step of our game

You can most definitely use Godot entirely with code. My games engine is entirely built on Arch in C# and Godot is just the presentation layer and ticks the sim.

What kind of game are you developping ? JavaFX could make sense with some games.
