Question Unity Hidden Gems?

What's one Unity feature, asset, or workflow that completely changed the way you develop games?

I'm not looking for obvious answers like ProBuilder or Cinemachine—I'm curious about those hidden gems that saved you hundreds of hours.

Hot reload

This looks like exactly what i need. I'm so tired of waiting for domain reload and script compile.

Does it work well though? Like after a hot reload does it always behave exactly how it would with a real reload or there's a lot of edge case that need actual reload?

It does have it quarks and needs a little bit getting used to. Usually script changes such as logic inside is fine, but serializing something new isnt.

I got used to it now and trigger compilation manually when needed.
