That's fantastic to hear, I've been wanting to switch to it for a while, as I hate how closed the commercial CAD programs are, but I've never put in the effort due to its various issues.

Would you say it's as good as OnShape nowadays, in terms of ease of use/stability?

Definitely. I’d recommend using FreeCAD Linkstage3 for now as it has a fix for topo naming problem and a variety of other improvements. For tutorial, I highly recommend OficineRobotica youtube channel. His videos are the best educational stuff I know of. With some practice you can learn proper workflow which prevents a lot of problems down the line.

I don’t think it’s anywhere close in terms of usability, but it is very powerful and capable.
