Good luck trying to reuse your work in 10 years.

Or export it to a non-autodesk ecosystem today, for that matter.

Autodesk designs its software to maximize customer lock-in.

The whole notion that you own your work and should be able to do what you want with it, especially work on it further in an non-autodesk environment is strictly against their corporate religion.

> I belive fusion 360 is free for personal use and much more popular than solidworks.

It was, and I would have recommended it then, but they pulled the rug a while ago.

> Solvespace has a non existing UX. I would very much advise against using it.

Yeah it's rubbish compared to commercial options but it's still by far the best FOSS option. It has a much better UX than FreeCAD.

> People have gone from zero to first commercial PCB in 1-2 weeks using kicad.

1-2 weeks full time is a lot! You could do it in a day or two with better designed programs. PCB design is really simple conceptually.
