Realthunder also lets the sketchers use projected geometry as real geometry, rather than only as construction geometry. And automatically creates shapebinders, which is very convenient. I still prefer it, but 1.0 works better with add-on toolboxes like Lattice2.
The ability to pull in projected geometry as real geometry or construction geometry is in the release candidate for V1.1 that should be released reasonably soon. There's a lot of other cool features in V1.1 as well.
I treat FreeCAD as a rolling release, using the dev version on a decently complex model [0] and it has been a really good experience so far. Lots of useful features and fixees going in all the time.
Oh yes, which is so useful. I am still using his now outdated fork. Hoping that at some point mainline gets performant enough for me to switch and learn new workarounds to different bugs.
