Horses for courses - I have Aspire and also use Fusion which is great but steep learning curve.

Fusion is free as well for small users.

Steep learning curve sounds like something in the future when I understand everything a little more :)
But it might be a good idea to download it while it's still free :D

I've generated all my gcode in fusion so far it's not that bad, I wouldn't say it was harsh I'm managed to generate working code with it lol.

Like everything in cnc you have to take a step back sometimes to absorb it all but once it gets in it's not that complicated after all and you wonder what you were worried about.

You tube has some good getting started with cam on Fusion 360 videos, you don't need to know how to model in fusion to use the cam but it does simplify things.

Generally I just pick a tool, pick a tool path click some setting and press enter lol and it seems to work ;)

Yes its not really hard to learn, just that its so powerful, most users will likely only ever need to learn 10% of the functionality :)

I knew nothing about 3d and after about 3m of messing about in the evenings I can now generate 3d items and CAM them successfully then machine them, its very satisfying.

Its not something you can "download" as such - it is an app BUT its all cloud based when running, you can work offline for 4 weeks i think then it must connect and sync or it will not run any more. Is free for small users, just have to sign up each year, takes seconds.
