Okay, so why do I as a user am supposed to expect bugs in 20 year old software? I simply won’t use it and instead use the industry standard. Yaknow, which doesn’t have those problems and is actually finished.
When a company is on the line, you don’t work with something that just happens to not work right when you need it to. Excuses and explanations don’t really interes you then.
The initial release was in 2002. There is a point where you can’t use the “we’re still making it” excuse anymore.
FreeCAD is a complicated program, providing BIM, CAD, and FEM. These and the topological naming problem is why it’s taking a long time to develop.
Sure, that excuse is “old”, but FOSS is suseptable to stalls/drops when creating complicated programs. (Take Xonotic, still at 0.8.x).

Your’re not. Move to another software or improve it. FreeCAD is nowhere near professinol so using it on a job is dangerous.
I use FreeCAD because Fusion360 is slow and annoying when exporting.
It’s your choice to use FreeCAD or not, but shaming FreeCAD that the development is slow is painful.
