For me it's all about learning freecad so I can look down upon the cloud cad peasants ๐น
For real though I completely agree. Freecad is just a plugin away from having a more accessible UI.
the ui is actually pretty good when you get used to it imo, it's just that it's very busy and intimidating for beginners
I think there should just be a simple builtin tutorial that beginners can access, that guides them through making a cylinder or something to assure them that freecad isn't as intimidating as it looks
I'm a mechanical engineer and have spent literal years in front of Creo and SolidWorks. Trying to use FreeCAD felt like flying a Cessna 172 after being accustomed to a business jet; they can ostensibly get you where you need to go, but the cost in effort to use the tool is not worth the cost saved in buying the commercial tool.
totally get your point but I just don't want to relearn the cad program when those proprietary options inevitably enshittify lmao
