With considerable CAD experience the observations are the same, your struggles are not caused by lack of experience.

Good to know. I also encountered this same frustration recently as someone with very little CAD experience. I could not get some simple shapes drawn with precise sizing in FreeCAD. It would not lock to grid properly nor let me manually enter dimensions. I tried the same with Fusion360 and it was painless, almost easy.
