It's also remarkable that while in many areas with "theory-heavy" software development (e.g. compilers), the open-source solutions are arguably better than the proprietary ones, this is not at all the case for mechanical CAD software. I wonder whether the overlap of people who can program, people who know enough math to develop a mechanical CAD software and the people who care about mechanical CAD is just too small for a successful open source effort.
Yes, there is FreeCAD and OpenSCAD, but every time I try to use them, I give up in the end and whip up something in Fusion360.
