Nothing wrong with being an amateur.
There is something wrong with dissing "buzzwords" you don't understand.
When you have something useful to say and a better attitude, then dialogue maybe possible. But until then, have a better day.

You said Fusion is for amateurs, and that "real" MEs don't use it. That's wrong, plenty of real MEs use it. You then listed a bunch of features that Fusion 360 actually has in a way suggesting it doesn't.
You also used a bunch of terms and pointed towards the importance of knowing those terms - which is just another form of gatekeeping. You didn't mention them in a way that suggested them as useful search terms to research.
And now you are saying I don't understand your buzzwords. Well, I do. Now what?
My attitude is simple: provide op with something that helps and encourages him. Telling him his tool is amateurish and throwing around some ME terms doesn't achieve that.
I would argue CAD/CAM packages are the same. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with fusion360 (I use it to for persona use too), it is true how the market penetration is extremely slim. Even the industrial sibling Inventor has only a small percentage of the market. While a lot of it is historical reasons, there are good reasons why most small to medium sized companies use Inventor/Solidworks and MasterCAM as their main driver.
I started with pen and paper and had to do the 3d part in my head, and working out the material resistance calculations with equations, no fancy finite elements...for context.
There is a russian one also, but I don't know the status. Or if it is only a kernel like opencascade.
