I started writing a response on reddit to the question "why do you prefer freecad vs openscad?" and wanted to share it here...

A few #FreeCAD advantages that matter to me:
- Fillets and chamfers. Can be mind-bending to implement in OpenSCAD, and slow when implemented with minkowski sums.
- TechDraw workbench to make drawings; I am a hobby machinist, and use drawings to make parts I have designed
- Part Design workbench workflow is often much easier for me to conceptualize
- Much faster (though the Manifold kernel in OpenSCAD has made a huge difference) even though it's still sometimes slow
- B-rep kernel (among other things, representing curves as curves)
- STEP file support, import and export
- Assemblies (finally are built-in in FreeCAD 1.0)
- Fastener workbench semi-automatically chooses the right fastener for the hole** Availability of many other workbenches, some of which I don't yet* know I need
- More tutorial material in a variety of forms that can guide you through learning lots of specific techniques for solving a wide variety of problems, including many that go beyond what you can do with FreeCAD. (On the other hand, it's really hard to get started without following some!)
