This game has spoiled me as far as QoL in gaming goes

I don't care if you like it or not, if you're a SucKom moldy sandwich hugger or campaignlet or whatever, what I'm saying is that the QoL that this game has introduced is by far the best experience in controlling anything in an RTS and makes me uncomfortable to play anything else now. I want this level of easiness to play to another game like Age of Empires or even Starcraft clones. Runs on any potato seamlessly with 8v8 people as well, looks incredible, is a proper sandbox and supports modding as well on top of being free.

But I don't want more BAR. I want others to realize how much they have been sucking lately and how mogged can they be. I want more RTS with different flavors and rules in my life, not only more TAs, but with this level of quality.

Likewise I can't speak for how the game is to actually play, being a mostly Brood War and Turn Based bab, but similar to you it's spoiled me on the fucking optimization, turning this game on made me question whether anyone else was even trying. Haven't seen a game so smooth since MT Framework was new.
And then they somehow improved performance when adding in the new lighting? Sheeeeeeeeit

Zero-K is ugly as fuck but it has every major feature BAR does and a few extra like auto skirmish.

Wait till you play Zero-K.
BAR and Zero-K share the same game engine, but, where BAR focuses on graphics, Zero-K focuses on gameplay and mechanics.

That was down to a well known issue with the GUI, there was an option to fix it over a year before the Lightbringer update, but the decision was made to hold back on the fix in order to increase the impact of the update.

Yeah, I played Zero-K for a while, then picked up DoK, which even has pretty much the same unit composition (raid, riot, skirmish, artillery, assault, AA), and out of habit I wanted to put my railguns neatly atop the crest of a dune with a single right-click-drag but it didn't work...
