I've heard good things about FreeCAD, but only if you're using the
nighties. Apparently the "stable" version is way behind feature-wise.
A number of people are using Blender for organic shapes, but I don't know
how well it outputs STL files. (That and the learning curve is a 90
degree angle.)

Cool. I'm not fond of SketchUp anyhow. I'm switchin'. If you've ever
used
qcad, I'm wondering what you or others might know/think of it. That one
works on my Unix boxes, that's why I ask. It's been flirting with me every
since I've seen it appearing in various pkg repos.
I only use SolidWorks. There's nothing out there for MacOS or *nix
that I'd spend the effort to throw a brick at. :)
