FreeCAD is a sprawling, incredibly feature filled piece of software that's slowly but surely becoming bug free enough to be usable. It's really impressive how many different aspects of it are under active development - and for simple things the part design workshop is really usable.
The biggest thing I'm looking forward to (assuming it ever happens) is the selection of a single "assembly" workbench. There's a whole load of assembly extensions, all of which take different approaches. A single "official" assembly workbench would give me the confidence to sink time into big, assembly heavy designs and know that it wouldn't all be wasted by the next release.
