The #1 frustration is that it's online only, and Autodesk won't let you e.g. use simulation features with local hardware. You HAVE to buy their cloud credits and you HAVE to use their cloud system to use the software beyond the basic features. It's not cheap, unless you're making products with it or are wealthy it's out of reach.
I have a decent computer with plenty of hardware for simulation as long as I'm willing to wait for the results... like a half hour or more in even simple cases. But because Autodesk wants lots and lots of money, they removed the ability to do that from the software. Fusion360 could already do it, but not any more.
Interestingly, in the time frame between when Fusion360 went pay to play for more than very basic features and now, Autodesk (ADSK) lost almost 40% of their corporate value.
