For private use strictly FreeCAD, at the job Inventor Professional. While FreeCAD is 'not there yet' in many regards, it's a great piece of software -if- you accept the flat learning curve and invest time. But I understand what you're saying. If you already have a solid understanding of CAD-basics, you rapidly understand what the programmers want to achieve and get there relatively fast. If you expect tabet-esque convenience (which I think from a professional standpoint should not be the goal for a parametric modeler) I get that people get frustrated.
Ah, I thought as much. I assumed it must be FreeCAD as it's the most feature rich one. These days whenever I need CAD I usually turn to SolveSpace which is also parametric but significantly lighter and straight to the point. For sure it lacks some of the useful features FreeCAD has but I rarely need those. Another one I reach out for is OpenSCAD, being a software developer this one clicks very well with me.
