Why choose GMS2 over Unity?

image_angle = point_direction(x, y, mouse_x, mouse_y);

GML:

Unity:

private Vector2 mousePos;
private Vector3 screenPos;
 
void Update () {
    mousePos = Input.mousePosition;
    screenPos = camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Vector3(mousePos.x, mousePos.y, transform.position.z - camera.main.transform.position.z));
     
    transform.rotation.eulerAngles.z = Mathf.Atan2((screenPos.y - transform.position.y), (screenPos.x - transform.position.x))*Mathf.Rad2Deg;
}

Games with GameMaker Studio 2
