It is true that what is intuitive to some is not to others.

I also think Fusion 360 can be serious overkill for simple tasks.
I struggled with trying to do V carvings of geometric patterns and lettering with Fusion. In short it is not well optimised for that sort of operation, this is why I tried Vcarve desktop which did in about 10 minutes what I was struggling to do on Fusion for ages.
Vcarve has very good toolpaths for text and engraving straight away with no fiddling to get it right.

However, I also design furniture and that is where Fusion is really great.

You can download vcarve for free but it will only let you output Gcode for one of their demo projects. You can fully design stuff on it, get a feel for it and it will let you do toolpath previews and all that, but it won`t generate code till you pay for a licence.

Have fun.
