FreeCAD 1.0 finally dropped!

I've learned to use it, and it's simple but nice.

Curves break your model.
\ You can't change a shape that has anything on it's face or the whole model breaks.
\ The basic spreadsheets are nice, especially since you can use the values... except it's tedious af.
\ Undo is rather unpredictable.
\ even a slight overlap in fillets and it just... won't at all.
\ Faces are named, references to them is done using those names, but fixing a reference by typing a name? Nah. In fact, the fix has been out for four years yet the dev refuses to merge or implement it.

I also discovered autodesk fusion 360 is free for personal use. But also a privacy nightmare.
