Not a popular opinion, but I love RTWP, and was sad that BG3 didn't offer the option. But I still struggle with the D&D action economy, and am forced to get better with it.

Same, I love RTWP and can't stand slow turn based anymore, looking at each individual skeleton slowly take their action only for them to get oneshot in the next round drives me insane.

The pathfinder games do it best, you can toggle seamlessly between RTWP and turn based, meaning I can go through 80% of combat encounters easily in real time and then pause on tough fights if needed. Best of both worlds.
