Freecad never really clicked with me. Tried it most recently in 2023 and the user experience just didn't make sense to me. My impression was that freecad is one of those projects were things have been a certain way for a long time (UX/UI wise I mean) and it works for those people so it will never change. For my small cad usage I just went with onshape.
My experience is similar, except that I gave up and did OpenSCAD (now PythonSCAD) and am trying Dune 3D.
