It's also worth noting that F360 is currently in development, with a large team of full time software engineers beavering away at a list of features. That means there is great (and fast) support if you post on the forum and you can request features. The downside is that by definition some useful features have yet to be implemented. They have a roadmap and tackle features, prioritised in sequence as you'd expect on any large program.

Currently they have most of the features you'd hope to see in a mid range CAD application but some of the advanced stuff won't happen for a while (sheet metal, advanced mates like chain and belt etc etc). However, they have already got proper 3D CAM implemented (3-axis, with 4-axis on the way if I understand correctly, milling, drilling, turning, waterjet) and some pretty interesting simulation options including stress, vibration, thermal and thermal stress. There's also animation, rendering and some pretty powerful surface tools. Some features are still a little clunky in places (some aspects of 2D drawings for instance) but I expect these will continue to evolve and improve.

So currently there are still some things you can't do in F360 so you'd have to turn to another application at a push but for many jobs it's at the point where you can survive on it alone. And all of these features are free (apart from rendering?)! That's where it scores over Onshape which is free for the limited core 3D CAD but charges you once you start adding stuff like CAM.
