Nah it's a great place to start learning, it's super easy to start modelling your first simple models in part design.
It's the more complex designs where it starts to struggle (or maybe I'm just bad idk)
Nah it's not you, FreeCAD is perfectly usable for something like the above referenced knob but even mid-size assemblies really have problems. I personally find the workflow to be bad and irritating beyond my ability to express in words and I can't imagine how frustrating it would be as a new user to work it out for yourself while at the same time getting used to thinking of objects as collections of operations. It's a great lightweight program for people who already know what they're doing and that value FOSS, though. 1.0 really fixed a ton of the issues, but it still has the "Blender UX" problem that seems to plague all big FOSS projects...
