I'm curious to know a modern comparison of QCAD and LibreCAD. Can somebody write what they know about it on the from the commit log, it seems you are right that QCAD's commit log seems to be one guy whereas LibreCAD has a bit more variety. The page probably also needs to mention Blender and FreeCAD's DXF (and to an extent, DWG in FreeCAD)'s support too. is there a reason you are using LibreCAD and not QCAD? I'm curious if you tried both, or if your usecase is such that it makes the differences negligible. This should be documented in the wiki so that new users get a good first can you try your large complex file in QCAD? I tried a few files (of small to medium complexity only) and QCAD worked well. I was looking for a more modern comparison (since this one in 2013: ) between QCAD and LibreCAD and came across this: - from my initial testing I seem to agree with the conclusions: that QCAD seems to have resolved its closed development model, and is actively maintained as well as has much more mature features (not to mention the most important one, which is out of the box DWG support). We should instead promote QCAD and LibreCAD. I used to use Draftsight too, but I think in the interest of the OSArch mission for free software, we should not mention Draftsight, NanoCAD, BricsCAD, or really any of the other proprietary alternatives. It's also a good way to cut funding from Autodesk, who have been milking it for far too long than is good for consumers. In my opinion, getting people off AutoCAD is a nice quick win for free software, so making this page well written and provide easy steps for people to switch is a high priority. Thanks for all the replies! I've posted what I've learned from this thread as well as my own experience here:
