I really want to like it. I am well accustomed to dealing with quirky FOSS UIs. But it is so bad. Something that takes one click in Solidworks or Solid Edge takes ten, and at any point if there is an error, there is no feedback.

If it looked like FreeCAD was trying to improve the UI I think I'd be throwing some money their way to fund it. But it appears they're happy with the way it works, as these paper cuts have actually gotten worse over time.

It's just FreeCAD, not FOSS-CAD-as-a-whole. Kicad gets better and easier to use each release and I am well aware what a gift it is to engineering work.
