> What world really needs is for FreeCad to be as usable is it’s paid equivalents. I don’t understand why free software always neglects the UI. My observation is that the problem isn't that the UI is neglected, it's that almost any suggestion to improve it gets bogged down in community objections. There's always someone on the forums who'll defend some aspect of the status quo (usually a vocal minority), either on the basis that "the problem is intrinsically complicated so a complicated UI is inevitable, so stop complaining" (which is, for the record, utter nonsense), or "we can't know if the change breaks someone's workflow", or "we need to expose the implementation details so you know what's going on" (again, nonsense). What you end up with is evangelists on Twitter calling out for more contributions, and the community shouting down contributions which would actually help. The whole thing's fundamentally broken not because the code can't be written, or because the ideas aren't out there, but because it's incredibly hard to make progress unless you're already a core developer (which, yes, there are too few of).
