Unity is easy to use, has tons of documentation, and there are all kinds of community built bits and pieces you can put together and modify for your needs.
The licensing terms are not as good as UDK on the other hand. Well at least for small timers. UDK just takes a flat percentage off the top of your profit. Unity requires upfront fees IIRC for each platform you want to make it on. And UDK I think lets you use their source code. So I suppose someone could be crazy and attempt to port UDK to something unusual.
But yes, UDK lacks good documentation. UDK has only recently become indie friendly, so most of the indie community is with Unity.
RPG Maker does have a lot of support though. And the latest version allows for deployment to other platforms in addition to Windows. (I also think Corpse Party started in RPG Maker).
