FreeCAD is a sprawling, incredibly feature filled piece of software that's slowly but surely becoming bug free enough to be usable. It's really impressive how many different aspects of it are under active development - and for simple things the part design workshop is really usable.
The biggest thing I'm looking forward to (assuming it ever happens) is the selection of a single "assembly" workbench. There's a whole load of assembly extensions, all of which take different approaches. A single "official" assembly workbench would give me the confidence to sink time into big, assembly heavy designs and know that it wouldn't all be wasted by the next release.

Same here — I taught myself CAD via FreeCAD tutorials and a month of making one-a-day household items, but ultimately I moved on to other tools (Fusion 360, Shapr3D) for better assembly support as I got into real-world uses.
