I love that FreeCAD exists and use it often, but I really hate how much you have to "fight" the UI. I even briefly considered learning OpenSCAD out of frustration with the ui and the toponaming problem (before realizing that switching to OpenSCAD would just shift my frustration onto Javascript fuckery).

Now that the latter is fixed, though, I have just forced myself to forget how to do things the "normal" CAD way (i.e. using patterns and flows that most other software has standardized around) and instead how to do them the FreeCAD way.

I hope at some point we get an overhaul of the UX, but in the meantime I'll grin and bear it since I have yet to find an even remotely comparable F/OSS CAD software that works the same on both Linux and Windows.
