Freecad is also easier and faster for stairs with angled corner landings

freecad is easier than sketchup here, especially when the number of tines increases

As much as I like FreeCAD it seems to be an unfair comparison. I only viewed the box joints: You have sped up your video or you move and click much faster and you don't explain anything around it.
A Sketcher Lecture with in-depth information is available in English, auf Deutsch, en français, en español.

I agree here. And when we say "faster" we should say "why" or what's the tool or workflow that here makes FreeCad better/faster then other CAD.
For the box join, IE: the guy explaining it (and he's also explaining with voice so maybe it's slower also for this), made every single shape silhouette for the join manually, when in Sketchup too he should have used an array of boxes and then a boolean operation as you made (correctly) with FCAD. So it's faster here because one used a longer method (not the faster one).
However: I like a lot this kind of comparison, and of course your very useful daily tutorial videos with tips and tricks and ideas with our loved FCAD! Your videos are always very inspiring, thanks!

I haven't tried much outside of FreeCAD, but it's definitely awesome at this kind of work.
My parents in-law's house currently has stairs that I designed in FreeCAD. (I know there are people doing more complex things, but it was the first time something I've designed has been made into the real world so I wanted to brag about it )

I like making, breaking and modding stuff, using a soldering iron, code or both. https://ifohancroft.com
