Entirely fair! I think FreeCAD is still fine for hobbyists like myself though. It does take quite a bit of getting used to (I came from Fusion360 and Inventor first) since it operates somewhat differently, but it's good that we have at least one option.

Hopefully it'll see more development and become substantially more viable in the future.

Thankfully I'm in a position where I can use SW for limited CAD tomfoolery, just so long as I'm not making models/drawings for another company or something.
