Gaea is built by an ex world machine dev and is similar in spirit. It's fast because it's all GPU but that means it has limitations and because it's not very old lacks a number of features compared to world machine.
Our terrain artists generally prefer to work in Gaea because of the speed and more streamlined UI but do fall back to world machine for some tasks.
Tbh. If I didn't want to spend money as a home user I'd just use Houdini . It's not the most streamlined option but it's free and capable of doing pretty much anything you'd want

Instant Terra is GPU based and very fast, First release in 2018. It comes with a plugin for Unreal Engine and a plugin for Houdini.
And an integrated World browser to easily start from real data.
