I gravitate to open source, native or self hosted applications. But I have to say that onshape is really neat.
I just do relative simple object for 3D printing, every few month. And onshape was easy to get into.
From BRIO connectors for my nephews wooden train set, book binding helpers for a coworker, case for LED controllers .. easy peasy.
Just fill pattern and text are always a struggle.
But I just know, at some point Onshape will start charging us freeriders.

- I don't know about that, may be, may be not, but I don't know of any such plan in the short term at least. It gives University students a free 'professional' license so there's that too.

Feel free to create a support ticket about your pain points. Everyone can easily do that, and Onshape is surprisingly more responsive to support tickets than many other companies.
