I really want to like, and use freecad. I've tried multiple times, and a couple years ago stumbled on fusion360 and have been using it regularly ever since. Its one of the reasons I still use windows as my primary desktop (along with a couple other piece of software that don't have anything similar quality/price on linux).
Initially I watched a couple youtube videos and since then have created a few dozen things in fusion360 with little effort, rarely bumping into problems I couldn't solve without reading forums/etc to find other peoples solutions.
So, IMHO I _REALLY_ want an opensource solidworks/fusion360/etc competitor but at the moment its just not there yet. From the video's it looks like it should be, but once you start using it, its an endless ball of frustration.
