CAD software.

FreecCAD just released it's first full version and it's a pain to use. Back in 2018 somebody said FOSS CAD software was at least ten years behind the big windows commercial software. I think now it's about fifteen behind.

    I disagree. Majority of average office workers do not use CAD software. It's not a hurdle to widespread adoption.

    Even if for a moment we assume u r right, what about electricians? cnc ? 3D printing? etc.

    Not a problem for u doesnt mean it isnt for someone else, and we aint even talkin about compatibility issues between cad software.

    The software looks nice, but it seems there's no 3D capable hobby-tier. 3D modelling starts at Pro-tier, which is >$700 per year. That's a low price for commercial software, but not a good option for hobbyists
