Well - I started with freecad using some good tutorials which can be found on youtube. Most times it works but in certain everyday functions I feel there could be more smoothness (like for example if you want in a sketch a complete parallel path in x distance) My understanding is that Fusion 360 has such functions. Another thing which could be done better is fillet functions (to get round corners) I think this a good example for something you use often (rectangular corners just don't look professional) but often don't work out as expected.
Lately I use openscad for my stuff but getting fillets with this is a major pain...
To sum up: FreeCAD is not bad - there are some good tutorials and so on and it certainly can teach you how to construct something 3D... but save often and save early (and best some different versions as well)
On the other side I expect a more professional handling from Fusion360 ... and of course there are additional features like finite element simulation....
