Let's take her out for a spin...

EDIT: annnnnd two crashes on the x86_64 AppImage in twenty minutes, both when attempting to start a sketch on a face. Could easily be my Kubuntu install, but... sigh.

EDIT2: Seeing that some issues might be related to changes to the Appimage framework. I'll need to see if I need some system updates. Windows version is running smoother, though my middle mouse button stopped working for some reason until restarting the app. If you haven't tried FreeCAD in a while, give it a shot; you may be pleasantly surprised. If you have, it's not a vastly different experience than recent daily builds or Ondsel (RIP).

Oh, did they finally make it usable?

LOL, that question may be rather dependent on when you last tried it. It's definitely better than, say, version 0.21.

i think v1.0 is there because "Ondsel" is stopping and donated things to FreeCad
