A 2D drafting program from which LibreCAD was originally forked, with a tidy interface. The Community Edition is open source and completely free and includes most of the drafting tools, while DWG import and export, the parts library browser, PDF import and some polyline tools are reserved for the commercial QCAD Professional. For anyone whose work is mainly 2D drafting this is one of the most mature options available at no cost.
