This is probably about the best sub for this that I could think of since we don't have a CAD related sub.

From the post:

>Within the world of CAD there are the well-known and more niche big commercial players and there are projects like FreeCAD that seek to bring a OSS solution to the CAD world. As with other OSS projects like the GIMP, these OSS takes on commercial software do not always follow established user interactions (UX), which is where Ondsel sought to bridge the gap by giving commercial CAD users a more accessible FreeCAD experience. This effort is now however at an end, with a blog post by Ondsel core team member [Brad Collette] providing the details.

I'm so new to FreeCad that I don't even know what this means or if it even affects me.

You were using "vanilla" FreeCAD so you won't notice anything at all unless they decide to merge some of the Customer UI/UX stuff into the main FreeCAD code base as they suggested. Looks like this other tool Ondsel was mostly just a layer over the main code base to make it more like other commercial CAD tools that people might be familiar with.
