I've used FreeCAD for hobby 3d printing and plywood CNC projects. It seemed buggy, and the workflow seemed strange, but I've never used anything else, so it's fine, I guess, lol.
FreeCAD is of course the tool of choice for my hobby projects. All of our workgroup's students get an introduction. But while its a great tool, you'll notice the lack of ... management (?) in the background. I'm not bashing or even judging. I very much appreciate all the work put into it. But it's simply ... not there yet to be considered a serious alternative to one of the big players.
