Some Sketchup fanbois will say "STL files are polygons, so it doesn't matter if curves are polygons in Sketchup". But it does matter. While you're designing the part, you need mathematical precision and accuracy. Once the design is done, converting to STL polygons is no problem.

CAD can be hard enough without adding all the problems that come with FreeCAD. If you're committed to open source at any "cost" (i.e. your time to work through the weird user interface and all the bugs) it's fine, but many of us just want to create a model with the minimal effort and don't care about philosophy.

You may indeed be able to do things in FreeCAD faster than I can do them in DSM, but it didn't take me 6 months of daily effort to learn how to do them.
