Thought I'd create a distinct thread from the previous one asking about daily use, because I really do want to hear more on people's pain points. Great to know people are generally sounding pretty positive in those posts who recently switched, but want to know your difficulties as well! This way old and new users can share their thoughts, hopefully to inspire a respectful discussion.

Basically no support for CAD software. I started out on FreeCAD back in 2016 then switched to Fusion360 a few years later. I gave FreeCAD another go a little after it hit 1.0 but it still feels so clunky in comparison.

Even though I share most of my designs, I'm not interested in the free version of OnShape where there isn't a choice in the matter.

I'm no professional so I could probably make due with FreeCAD but I'll be keeping my dual boot since I have the option.

    If you don't mind using text-based interaction you could give OpenSCAD a try ... it's like TinkerCAD (solids and holes) but with code ...

    I might be biased here because I'm a programmer by trade but I didn't find it too hard ... also mostly need boxy shapes ... but still, I think it's neat ...
