Not that it's much to brag about, or that I'm rare for having done so, but I definitely called this one. I am really not sure how they ever really thought FreeCAD just needed Cloud PDM to make a dent in the commercial market. Hell, part of me wonders if the devs actually believed that, or if this was all a low-grade Robin Hood grift to plow some VC resources into FreeCAD for a couple of years. 🤣

Well, damn! Ondsel ES was what made my transition from F360 that much easier. Really hoping I can fly FreeCAD 1.0 as easily as I could Ondsel. Grabbing RC1 now... 🤞

I understand if you grab an RC build and use the OpenDark theme and the associated preference pack, it should get you most of the way there.
