The recent post on foss software got me thinking about viable foss alternatives, particularly non programming related.
I just came across FreeCAD and am wondering if anyone has experience using it, how it compares to Solidworks, Autodesk, Rhino or Catia?
I was shown Kicad at uni by a ladtech and was very impressed, way easier and more flexible then whatever microchip software they where teaching.
On a broader level what other professional ffos alternatives do you guys know about?
Is anyone using this stuff on a professional level or is it more hobby at the moment?

I've been thinking a lot lately about the future of software and where native apps and the web will reconcile and I had the idea that what if "the next OS" had a OSS federated app store that people and organizations could host themselves, but the system still used the app store model that pull app/program listings from all the installations online? This could apply to mobile or desktop computing, or even any of the other platforms (see windows store system compatibility).

Are there any visually appealing FOSS dialers for Android?
I found a few but they all look somewhat ugly in my opinion. I want to use a privacy oriented dialer but I really don't want to trade aesthetics for that.

DAS Keyboard banned a guy on forums for providing open source alternatives for their keyboards
@sebirdman: So I got banned from the @daskeyboard forums for telling people there's an open source alternative to the windows only software they provide. I'll never buy one of these keyboards again.
