When I found FreeCAD at version 0.21, I was a bit sceptical, especially since my first modelling tool was Solidworks. But after the 1.1 update, it really impressed me so much so that it became my main modelling tool. I've modelled bike frames, brackets, tables, bike stems, ball bearings and, more recently, kitchen utensils. I'll give it its flowers. What do you think about using open-source tools in the professional space?
