Solidworks has the most intuitive interface I've seen so far. I may be biased from using it for like 15 years at this point but I've also tried Fusion 360, SketchUp, Ondsel and FreeCAD with varying degrees of success in creating designs and assemblies more complicated than a nut and screw.
Yes, yes you are extremely biased.
That was the point the commenter you replied too made.
I mean I learned it in a few days and found it very intuitive as well. Far more intuitive than I found fusion when I tried that years later. Inventor and onshape also feel more pleasant to use.
The issue seems to be that the fusion interface is very non-standard when compared to other cad suites, so people that get used to it first find everything else unintuitive.
If that's the case I might try it some day. I'm guessing it's expensive as fuck though.
