Freecad is so awful though. It breaks all the time and forces you to do things “their way” instead of being flexible. I don’t like having to use it :/

FreeCAD is still in development, Expect bugs.

The initial release was in 2002. There is a point where you can’t use the “we’re still making it” excuse anymore.

How does it compare to Onshape?

Haven’t tried it. FreeCAD is basically a “whole package” cad system, but it just doesn’t work quite often. You try to change a dimension and the entire model just explodes. You add a filet and a refference disappears because an edge now has a different name for some reason.

If you go from the start to the end and don’t change anything, maybe don’t do something complicated, then it’s “simply” really annoying to use. If you do anything else, then it becomes impossible, with you fixing stuff more time than you actually model what you want to.
