Oh yes, which is so useful. I am still using his now outdated fork. Hoping that at some point mainline gets performant enough for me to switch and learn new workarounds to different bugs.
The ability to pull in projected geometry as real geometry or construction geometry is in the release candidate for V1.1 that should be released reasonably soon. There's a lot of other cool features in V1.1 as well.
I treat FreeCAD as a rolling release, using the dev version on a decently complex model [0] and it has been a really good experience so far. Lots of useful features and fixees going in all the time.
