God. I hatelove FreeCAD so much. As someone coming from the Autodesk/Fusion360 world it is so incredibly clunky and unrounded.
And on the other side so incredibly powerful and flexible.
Argh. Argh.
I really have to figure it out better.
It's hard for me to bitch when it's free. I am very grateful for their efforts. That being said the learning curve is steep. But I'd assume not as steep a openscad.
The thing is: For private use Fusion 360 is also basically free. With drawbacks and everything but it's a constant gamble between these drawbacks and the clunkyness. I personally wait for the day that Autodesk will fuck up Fusion even more and then even though I am lazy I will be forced to accept FreeCAD as my saviour.
