Dumb cloud-only stuff. Good that I use Onshape, where stuff like that could never happen!

...wait a minute, shit. It absolutely could and probably will. The owners certainly could restrict the free tier or ban my account if they want, and then everything is gone.

I absolutely hate that. I really like Onshape, because it works great, but we NEED an, at least decent, FOSS option. I don't necessarily need stuff like flow simulations, just good modeling, like in F360 or Onshape.

FreeCAD didn't work too for me. The UI was horrible, the workflow very unintuitive and wonky, and it crashed a lot, while not supporting basic functions.

There were a few alternatives around too, but they were in the very alpha stage and didn't work yet at the time I researched.

I really wish someone would create something from scratch, or fork something that already works, like Blender, and turns it into a CAD.

It's just sad to know all my hundreds of models in Onshape will get useless some time in the future.
