I've been using Fusion for almost a year, choosing it over others primarily because it's free to hobbyists and small commercial users. It is easier to learn than other packages I've tried and has given me good results for 3d modeling. As of yet I've not used the CAM portion of the software, preferring V-carve Pro for the 2-1/2 D work I've been doing thus far. I was skeptical of the cloud based aspect, but it has not presented any problems. The software actually does run locally and can be used without an internet connection for up to 30 days, I believe. Your files are stored in the "cloud" but can be backed up locally. The advantage of being cloud based is updates are done continuously and transparently. If you want to learn more about the product, I would recommend NYC-CNC's videos. John Saunders runs a small job shop and documents his use of Fusion 36O in well done videos. https://www.nyccnc.com/
