FreeCAD is amazing. I'll gladly take it's issues over any modern software with the subscription, cloud or AI or similar bullshit.

    I think the latest iteration ironed out a lot of UI issues. Not all, but a lot. If you care at all about owning your own files and designs then you basically have to use freecad.

    Indeed. 1.0 made it much better and actually competitive with the commercial programs. The topological naming issue is still there but not nearly as bad as before.

    I've made some more complex designs as well such as as a CNC machine and a multi channel peristaltic pump with an attached planetary gearbox. Freecad itself was never the issue when designing these things.
