FreeCAD is Becoming Slop-ware, Use LibreCAD Instead
The LibreCAD project is sadly outsourced to proprietary GitHub (Microsoft), but as far as we can tell it is still programmed and maintained by people. It has regular releases and "Qt5 is mandatory" now (also proprietary). They say "LibreCAD is a cross-platform 2D CAD program. It can read DXF/DWG, and write DXF/DWG/PDF/SVG files. It supports point/line/circle/ellipse/parabola/hyperbola/spline primitives. The GUI is highly customizable, and has dozens of translations."
Despite the proprietary bits, they at least audit what they add.
Why not FreeCAD, the more famous one? In the words of FCB Lounge: "Yorik Van Havre is stepping down [...] The reason behind Yorik stepping down is his dissatisfaction with the stance the project has taken towards [slop] contributions. Yorik prefers a strict no [slop] policy, whereas the project has agreed on careful stance toward [slop] and acceptance of [slop] assisted contributions."
"This is to announce my decision to take a step back from FreeCAD maintaining," he wrote in his blog, as "I have been part of the core team for almost 20 years now, and the project is taking a direction that is not the one I wish to work with. And this is fine, the FreeCAD project now has a strong, active and united team of maintainers, who are really pushing things forward and putting a ton of mechanisms in place to address the complexity of a project of this size."
He rejects projects that allow slop. █
