I've been burned with enough (temporarily) 'free' CAD software that I've finally made the permanent switch to FreeCAD.

I am a huge fan and can easily recommend it.

Maybe in the past, FreeCAD wasnt good, but today its just CAD software. Sure it might not have a wire harness tool that gives you a report about different wires, but I've used enough CATIA to know that CATIA doesnt work either. (maybe hyperbole, but basically Catia tools were so bad, my company ended up writing our own checks).

Bonus points that there is already google indexed support for every question you can imagine. Can't say that about niche Catia stuff.
