My biased opinion as a DIY-er. Solidworks and other commercial CAD's are more polished and friction free. Freecad has too much legacy and quite verbose. The things may change a bit this/next year when a solution to the topological naming issue is released. But UX is still a mess. There is also an Ondsel, freecad based but opinionated. I find it ATM more user friendly. Also keep in mind that freecad doesn't support master sketch. So you can't pick sketch lines for an extrusion or other operation. I found this quite confusing in the beginning. But this is also a subject to change this or next year. If Freecad doesn't fit you now I'd recommend to check it a year later after v1 release.
