  • I’ve spent 3 years learning freecad, and it’s bad, it’s entirely incapable of holding up against moderately complex projects, a simple fillet can break the whole model. It got better with 1.0 but it’s still so very far from competing with fusion or inventor / catia…

    As for gimp… I’ve really tried adding it to my workflow, but it’s been a massive headache, I’d likely use photocraft over it given both options…


  • Ngl gimp never took off because it’s UX is terrible, plus it’s far from feature complete.

    It’s like freecadbin that regard, it exists, it’s foss, but it’s massively inferior to the paid options because UX is horrible and it breaks in weird ways.

    Foss can be as good or better than non foss, just look at blender or Kicad, but these two aren’t it.




  • That approach isn’t all sunshine and rainbows though, it’ll undercut local businesses (the few remaining ones), and without ID of Nyc residents non-nyc ppl could take advantage of these stores to resell the goods for a higher price…

    I’m not sure how NYC is going to sustain the costs as well, more taxes? Capital flight will be a problem. Not a musk fan here, but there’s two faces to this coin.
