FreeCAD in its vanilla state (without tweaks) is pain in the butt in term of usability, it's still bit "hard" to recommend for casual user when they are coming from commercial like Autodesk Inventor, Solidworks and such.
Recently Ondsel Team created sort of modules for FreeCAD which also marketed as standalone product that lets you to make it functions like Fusion 360 in term of cloud connectivity, their free tier also good even better than Fusion 360 Hobbyist License. They also contribute toward FreeCAD upstream for some general improvement though some of them are exclusive on their own implementation.
The day FreeCAD 1.0 dropped, I definitely going to try it out because I'm stuck on Fusion (needed for collaboratory work) ever since graduated from college.
I mean of all the features F360 has, cloud connectivity is probably the least desirable one for me. In fact, I'd say it's an anti-feature.
Yeah, I was taught using NX and coincidentally also use it at my current job, but I have dabbled in almost all of the other commercially available platforms and so far FreeCAD took the longest for me to "pickup" as it were.
