Is the learning curve about the same between the two?
FreeCAD is a bit leftfield in the interface department, but the fundamentals are the same in just about everything. There's quite a learning curve with all if you're starting from square one, but there are good online tutorials for everything.Is the learning curve about the same between the two?

It's not as spiffy as the paid for options... It's a darned good option if you don't even know if you will "take to this".FreeCAD is a bit leftfield in the interface department, but the fundamentals are the same in just about everything.

well I can't help you then..I downloaded FreeCAD. Now I have to figure out how to use it.
I had slightly more complicated reasons for going for FreeCAD over Fusion360. I had a previous experience where I paid for a "lifetime access" to a PCB design CAD which changed their policy after about a year. I had to use old PDF drawings, and re-create my saved copies.+1 FreeCAD.
All CAD programs have a steep learning curve, but there are lots of YT videos and the forums for FreeCAD. It will be free forever which is why I chose it over F360 which I started with.
