FreeCAD 1.0 Who's using it?

So not that long ago FreeCAD V0.22 AKA V1.0 was released.as the stable version. I have been using Autodesk Fusion 360.
for years now and for the most part it works fine. That said with Windows 10 being EOL this coming October and Fusion 360
not officially released for Linux ( plus all the B.S. with Win.11 NO THANK YOU! )  I started fumbling my way around FreeCAD.
I have played with the program in the past V0.19, V0.20, V0.21 but no real motivation to truly learn it. Going from one to the
other definitely has a learning curve. How about everyone else what has been your experience using the new FreeCAD?

Find Joko Engineering on youtube, he has some very good tutorials, watched him for literally 3 minutes and i was off designing machine parts. Having previous experience with 3D studio Max and LightWave helps but it also hindered me as i kept thinking " i know this"! Had to get rid of that "i know this" part to be able to move on.
I use it for machine parts, so far for 3D printing only, i will have to delve into the "path" territory soon.
Definitely, it is magnificent once you get past the quirks, then again all have quirks.
And the major issue with faces has been fixed quite good, appears to be better than most commercial solutions, but that is debatable.

There is a CAM version of Blender if you feel like stepping into the deep end, no idea if it is still being worked on. Blender is a monster! And it's free, despite huge offerings to buy them out.

Thanks tommylight I will have to look back at his channel . Last time I checked there it mainly had stuff from 4 or so
years ago. I wasn't sure if his tutorials were going to be relevant on V1.0.

Been using it ever since I got my 3D printer for models.
Used the path bench a few time with success for basic 2d stuff.
Mango Jelly Solutions has some good tutorials as well.

Thank you cornholio. I have watched a few of his tutorials. My only complaint with them is early on he uses
shortcuts and such, At least the tutorials I have seen. As great as it is to know those shortcuts if someone is
just starting out learning CAD/CAM those shortcuts can become cumbersome to remember.

I actually have the download for that one but have yet to have time to go through and learn/use it.
