They offer a discount $150 for 3 years the $680 full price. 😞 it was bound to happen.

I've moved away from free personal Fusion360 to OnShape and it suits my needs just fine. The free tier makes all my models public but I don't mind, and it runs much more smoothly in my browser than Fusion ever did on my desktop.

Yes! Access to my files via web browser from any machine without having to install software was what initially drew me in, but it’s replaced almost all the CAD software I’ve tried including Fusion260 and Freecad.

I still use F360 for CAM when I make parts on my CNC mill. Looking for alternatives... I acquired a copy of Solidworks 2020 and it has the CAM package but the learning curve is much steeper.
