That 3D modeling software I swore by for 5 years got replaced by a free tool in 2 weeks

Switched to the open-source BIM program after watching a guy from a job in Phoenix use it to coordinate 4 different trades in 30 minutes with automatic clash detection, and I just wanted to know if anyone else has seen that big of a speed difference between paid and free options.

Solidworks lost to Fusion 360 in two days at my old shop.

Two days seems fast. Was it a specific feature that pushed them over the edge or just the overall cost savings? I have heard people complain about Solidworks licensing getting worse every year. Did your old shop just get tired of the constant upgrade fees? I always wonder if it was the cloud stuff in Fusion that sealed the deal or if people just got frustrated with Solidworks crashes.
