I haven't looked for awhile but the documentation was lacking when I first got into it. Used as a professional design solution and a personal tool, FreeCAD makes 3D design easier to handle and its processes more manageable. Steep learning curve but thankfully with YouTube. The software is parametric meaning you can adjust dimensions and update the model, ability to create assemblies. Price (free), functionality: solid modeling (not just a collection of lines, arc and circles), features, (eventual) ease of use, ability to create.
