Okay, sure it's getting better. But the reality is - you need to be able to depend on your CAD to work. I've used FreeCAD a lot. It simply isn't dependable and can't do the same things a different cad package can. It's parametric only by name.

    There's not a single thing you can't do in FreeCAD that you can do in other CAD programs - but you do have to understand how it works and it's limitations.

    Which you don't have to do with other programs. There stuff works. In FreeCAD, it doesn't. And no, it isn't as simple as "do it like the tutorials do". Parametrization breaks all the time simply because you want to change a dimension halfway down the stack. It just sucks.
