I would also argue that the majority of CAD users use it for work. Work pays for the license.
Not always. Its 5-15 k € for a license with 1 year of updates. Many small companies find a way just like students do. Its just more user friendly and more powerfull. Im afraid Im too old to see foss on that level before I die, but Im sure it will get there one day.
I love the idea of 3D CAD foss on lemmy. Im gonna follow and hope it gets better and more popular
