Ask HN: How does modern FreeCAD compare with Solidworks?

Its been a while since I have touched Freecad, and would like to go open source for my Cad projects, but the last time I used it it was severely lacking in features compared to Solidworks.

The main thing Im looking for is parametric modeling. The use case is basically sketches with constraints -> parts -> assembly with constraints -> drawings that show driven dimentions.

I have the time to learn it, but I don't want to be writing custom python scripts to do the above.
