Why Professional CAD user cannot use LibreCAD as commercial purpose

Although it is admirable that the developers of a LibreCAD software, made an efforts for community.

It can be understand at some extent that developers are not 'Pro' CAD users.
However, the efforts will go into the vain, if its not developed according to standard need (at least). Commercial standards is not concern here at all but Ideal for Printing and Academic project purpose where more time consumption is not a concern.  

For example, many open source software is very brilliant with their alternatives such as Blender with 3DS Max / Maya, Inkscape with Adobe Illustrator, and GIMP with Photoshop

In conclusion, see the image below in which the very simple drawing takes minutes to complete in LibreCAD, whereas the same drawing can be complete with seconds in AutoCAD or CorelCAD.

The proverb is best fit to LibreCAD is SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE

In my opinion, it depends what you put into 'needs': free software, zero cost software, independance for governance, productivity, etc. ? My experience in using free software is that productivity is usually not priority 1.
I do not believe that the goal of LibreCAD is to challenge big names of 2D CAD market. If you need such productivity then it just requires to buy a licence...

Productivity is not concern as I said, "Commercial standard is not a concern"

I am just comparing other Open-source software that how they satisfy the need of alternatives compare to the Proprietary softwares.

If you are developer/contributor you may know about other Open-source software such as

Blender
GIMP
Inkscape
Scribus
LibreOffice  which is indeed an alternatives, can be use to great extent as 'commercial license' like packages.

Here I did not criticized the efforts but it should be meet at least basic functionality.

In any other 2D commercial licensed softwares includes 3D modeling, Parametric features in 2D drawings, Special workflows for specific task such as MEP, HVAC, BIM (Engineering terms) and so on. Which can be acceptable to NOT include in FOSS like LibreCAD.

Hope to get my opinion. This should be taken as suggestion, not a negative reviews.

 

   

Good day!
Things that are required for serious use will never appear in the 2.x branch. Need to wait 3.x or fork qcad again((
And performance here is in the first place, which can be said if it is immediately clear that it will be impossible to work with any complex drawing

I have one request for use librecad 3 as commmercial design software:

+3D drawing lines similar to autocad

For more complex design I need:

+Support for regular and dynamic blocks with attribute definition
+Autolisp with openDCL
+Multi view windows and tabs
+external reference support

For complement a BIM workflow:

+Librecad's plugins for draw in other software such as freecad or blender, similar to grasshoppers or dynamo or pyflow.

For do LibreCAD a BIM program:

Convert LibreCAD 3 in a fork of AutoCAD MEP,  with all their features, but with fixed errors and more features.

LibreCAD maybe might be profitable if they add ads in the forum, open a patreon is another options, donations, create a kickstarter project, create tutorials in social media with ads, all this for pay to our LC developers, with this we might have more features.

...but why LibreCAD forum do not use ads? ads are underrated, remember that Flappy Bird's reported $50,000 dollars per day of advertising.
