IMO the bigger problem with FreeCAD is the topological naming problem. It's very easy to get frustrated because your model broke due to a change you made in an earlier feature.
The UI isn't amazing though, and that unfortunately happens quite a bit with open source software. Hopefully it'll go the way of Blender and KiCAD with an eventual major release that overhauls the UI.
Last I tried it, there was no fix. Their latest update on the website says:
So I take it they haven't implemented a fix. They previously said they were going to work with the FreeCAD team on mainlining a toponaming fix, using realthunder's work as a proof of concept, but said fix has not landed in mainline FreeCAD yet. I believe that's the major feature they're looking to implement for FreeCAD 1.0.
Definitely excited for Ondsel though! Hopefully that fix can be integrated quickly.
