You've already accepted Fusion 360 as the answer, but I thought I'd provide my experience, too.
I picked up Fusion 360 pretty quickly because I'd dealt with 3d modelling programs in the past, such as Blender.
Openscad calls to me pretty strongly, but it's kind of a weird mindset and almost more like a puzzle game than a productivity product. Freecad just has too many problems still, especially when dealing with the timeline.
And so I still use Fusion 360 any time I need to bash out something for around the house. For basic usage, I find it really easy to use. I'm sure I'll get into more complex things later, but the ease with which Clough42 on youtube uses it to design nice things makes me think that it won't be that hard to get more into it.
