What do you dislike about FreeCAD's interface?
I think that the tools are not will organized, and I always have problems finding the tool I need in the menu. The concept of having different workbenches does not work good for me, as often I am looking for a tool and then realize I am in the wrong workbench. But it is not always clear why something is in a workbench and not in the other, and there are duplicated functions in some workbenches. Also, the fact that it does not support Wayland makes everything look blurry in hdpi screens. I like that it has a good python API though, but the documentation is a bit lacking. However, the different workbenches also sometimes complicate the use of the Python API. I like e.g. how build123d works.
FreeCAD interface needs to take a lot of pointers from paid CAD programs, this Chili3D interface is quite close, larger icons in ribbons at the top of the screen with clear definitions
There's an active knee-jerk hostility in the FreeCAD community to any user problem that even hints that it might involve a comparison to proprietary CAD. I've had "FreeCAD isn't Fusion and you shouldn't expect it to behave the same way" thrown at me when I've been discussing something bone-headed FreeCAD was doing.
I've never used Fusion, in any incarnation.
- There are too many views whithout explanation of what they are
- By default the position of the tools and buttons is a chaotic mess
- There are things that seem to be the same but arent (e.g. Sketch from the "Part Design" and "Sketch" view)
- The 3D view is glitchy. The reflections make things invisible, AA is off by default, there is no proper Grid...
- The QT stylesheet is kinda ugly. If you literally delete it completely and revert to the default that QT has it looks much nicer.
- The settings are a bit messy and often it's not clear what they do.
