I have definitely used it post 1.0, not 1.1 since that just released in March of this year though. I have a hard time believing they have fixed all the issues I have with it between 1.0 and 1.1. I would love to see it get better, but unfortunately I just don't have a lot of hope without significant changes made to detoxify the community. To me it is one of those "the first step is admitting you have a problem" situations, and so far they seem unwilling.

As for F360 going downhill, not in a way I notice as a hobbyist (other than making it much harder to install under wine recently...). That said, I only use F360 because they have a free for hobbyist/makers option. Most everyone I know that uses CAD professionally use Solidworks (outside of YouTubers that seem to be getting paid by Autodesk occasionally), so I have long assumed F360 isn't "the best" option, just the one that I could reach.
