I've just started using FreeCAD after bouncing around Solidworks, Onshape and Fusion360. The changes in 1.0 are more than welcome! Thank you for your contributions!

I learned freecad some years but never really liked it. Fast forward to version 1.0, it feels like a huge improvement and I think k I will try to use it again for smaller projects.

The biggest improvement IMO was the partial sketch thing, which I can't even find among the release notes...

I was sceptic first, but 1.0 turned out had some major improveme

It is! It is totally usable for my hobby projects that I overkilled with Fusion360. Btw Fusion 360 crashes as often as FreeCAD 1.0 for me, despite its holier-than-thou maker.
