Agreed, you become a much more rounded programmer that way, but for me, its not C++ (with irrlicht) and DBP, its Torque as well.
To be honest, if you're not going to achieve anything with DBP, then you have the wrong attitude towards it, if that attitude isn't corrected onto whatever you're working with next, except you're going to find you're going to spend more time on the smaller things, C++ isn't difficult, I am a linguist and learning languages is simple for me, I suppose there are difficult concepts to grasp, but you pick them up quickly, but unless you're using a game/graphics engine within it, game making will be quite difficult, I tried Open GL programming and thought 'ouch', so I went back to irrlicht as as all of the commands are lucid, I even tried turning them into DBP commands for fun and two of them worked, (set display mode and set fullscreen or something like that)
If you're wondering why project have failed with DBP, its the target audience, most of them are students who have interest in game making as a hobby, Rush was the first project I worked with, it included me, Onimusha, Zidane, Cian, BearCDP, Jimpo, Dark Serpant and a few others, most of us had exams to work towards and other commitments and the project failed, same for Ronin (those beings my commitments, not Sett's) but now I have chosen a project that shouldn't fail as it doesn't need a huge commitment to manage.
As for the community projects, well there is a very small percentage of community projects on the internet that succeed, I have seen many fail whatever the medium may be.
So incidentally, changing from DBP won't change the fact you can't finish the project, it is you or your commitments that has to change, if you choice is to go to C++, then your project will require more time and incidentally you'll most likely have the same outcome. I did notice what you said about your career ideas, if that is so, its a good choice to learn, as long as you put yourself forth for it, I don't give the time I should to my skills needed for my future career.
