I’ve spent 3 years learning freecad, and it’s bad, it’s entirely incapable of holding up against moderately complex projects, a simple fillet can break the whole model. It got better with 1.0 but it’s still so very far from competing with fusion or inventor / catia…
As for gimp… I’ve really tried adding it to my workflow, but it’s been a massive headache, I’d likely use photocraft over it given both options…
