An interesting discussion, I've used FreeCad for a while for 3D printing.  Most of the machining I do is too simple to demand intervention by CAD so far :-)

If people want information on some interesting concepts in FreeCad, here are some YouTube channels that might interest:

There are others, but I don't want to make this too lengthy :-)

Did all this and some more 2 days ago while i was building a small 4 axis cnc machine and waiting for it's parts to print (not shown here, but the round teethed thing shown here is also for that machine).
Notice the changes on the FreeCAD GUI, made it much more enjoyable to use

If you are already here, you should really watch this, it is by far the most comprehensive video for complicated and parametric stuff.

I've been using FreeCAD for the last year as I learn CAD and now CAM. Its been a pretty good experience for me, I dont understand all the hate from the larger internet. I just chock it up to not learning any other CAD package first (unless you count Kicad).
Its been pretty cool watching it move to V1 and now beyond. It looks like CAM gets some good updates in V1.1. I might need to try the dev version one of these days.

FOSS projects will always get hate. Admittedly there were some really frustrating things. It is getting better & better.
