Some days I get very sad thinking about how many workflow advancements in level editors were lost by way of teams just offloading level design to environment artists and standard 3D packages.
This is another great example.
Fun fact, one of the exact issues mentioned in this talk just landed on my desk, as a feature request from a LD... like, three days ago.

Using the #Scythe plugin by @kronok.bsky.social for #UnrealEngine, I modeled this sci-fi hall in two evenings. I would rebuild most of it with what I learned, but it was fun to make. #screenshotsaturday

While developing the Scythe Material Browser, I stumbled upon a way to swap out Unreal's thumbnail renderer with my own. So I turned it into a small plugin called Flat Material Thumbnails and released it on Fab today: www.fab.com/listings/778...

What UVing in a good level editor tool is like:
Select a face and Alt + RMB on hovered faces to flow it to that face.
I can also flow it from the hovered face to the selected faces with Shift + Alt + RMB (coming in Scythe 0.7).

Sadly, Scythe wasn't selected for a Megagrant. I thought for sure this is exactly the kind of thing they want for UE.
