I'm a fusion360 user, mostly for simple 3d printed things. I had already stopped recommended it to people last year when they started messing with the hobby/startup license.
Frankly, I would be perfectly willing to toss a couple hundred dollars at them if it were a boxed product that I "owned" and could reinstall in 10 years. But they don't offer that, its a rental model or nothing. After all, I paid for simply3d, despite there being a bunch of free slicers, because it works well and I can use it for an hour or so a year (because I use it in 5 min bursts) without fretting over continuous payment.
In the end, I will probably give TurboCad another spin in a year or so when the next set of fusion360 feature removals happen. I used it a bit a few years ago and have that copy, and they continue to sell a "permanent" license version that is fairly reasonably priced. Plus, it looks like they have done a fair bit of additional work to make it work better for 3d.
For the time being though, I will save off my drawings, and donate some $ to freecad https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Donate https://wiki.freecadweb.org/Donate to encourage them.
