I've started using FreeCAD for CAD work, I've used Fusion 360 for 5 years before trying FreeCAD (again, I tried it a few years ago) and it works pretty good.

It's different and it's taking some getting used to but it's working out quite nicely so far.

I'll give that a try again. I tried that about 3 or 4 years ago and couldn't make that switch, but I can't remember why, lol.

The 1.0 release helps a lot. They got a bit of a kick in the pants while Ondsel existed.

Oh definitely do. The recent improvements (in the last 1-2 years) have made it much more useable, and sometimes even intuitive.
