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.

I'm coming from Fusion, advanced hobbyist, I can't find anything missing. </anecdata>

There is a problem though - sometimes what you want requires deep understanding. It's less user friendly, polished, and documented. That's also relevant to the performance - it's easy to cause performance issues. But I remember the same was also applicable to Fusion.
