Having an option to choose should keep twice as many people happy. The markdown apps I use, don’t show any formatting marks, and have style icons. Lots of us outside the IT world are used to this wysiwyg way.

FreeCAD can cope with low end, sketch-and-pad work. New users seem quite happy. It really needs a usability upgrade to help on-boarding though. More visual interaction feedback would help a lot. A verb-noun UI too. Start a command, which then guides what selections are needed.
For high end and surfacing work it’s a non starter.
We need more people with programming, CAD and usability skills. A rare combination, it seems.
