It's funny, but we've had LibreOffice for years. I'll take the human made one, thanks.

But continue making the unaccountable Epstein class uncomfortable. Autodesk next, yes please. I'll still use FreeCAD but boy is it quirky lol.

LibreOffice is used since years in Spain in companies and administrations

Freecad doesn't click with me so I'll be so excited for an autocad-like project

CADCraft appears to only be 2D CAD.
