It's that phenomenon where people who endured trauma to attain something expect others to also endure the trauma.
I've tried learning GIMP, and it sucks. I'm not saying GIMP sucks, but you have to be crazy to not see that it's hard to learn.
The Autodesk forums are 40% this, 20% "just learn to program, spend a few years getting good at it, then write yourself a custom script to do what you are struggling with", 20% "you are wrong for wanting that in the first place" or "you are wrong for having this issue", 15% "this has been brought up once at some point in the past two decades, try searching", 4% "OMG yes I have this issue too!"...
...and 1% split between actual helpful answers, and confirmation that it's a known issue.
I've been happier worth with Bricscad, but I mostly just need it for designing stuff to 3d print, so your mileage may vary.
It's also not FOSS, of course, but I haven't yet found FOSS cad software that works for me.
I'm only drafting for career not hobby at this point, so it's all industry standard software.
One of these days, when I have a house, I might get into 3D printing, but not for the foreseeable future.
For 3D stuff, I'm good with Inventor, but it certainly has it's quirks.
