FreeCAD sounds great but in practice it’s sooo slow.
If you are coming from SolidWorks, Fusion360, Inventor, or OnShape, it won’t take long before you start finding that there are a lot of things missing from it.

Isn't the Python scripting in FreeCAD just a direct representation of the internal object model?
It's _not_ something which was designed for ease of use, or rational semantics, or to facilitate expression.
