FreeCAD. All the CAD you need without the subscription and blocked off features.

I can believe it's free, coming from professional cad software it's basically un-usable.

Agreed. Using free CAD feels so substantially worse than literally any other option.

I believe SketchUp is also free for most users, and I'd much rather use it if I don't want to pay. It's not FOSS, but FOSS ≠ good

I also agree. Use audodesk inventor for work and fusion 360 for personal use. I tried freecad and could not do it.
