The main impediment to me with the free version compared to the community edition is that with the community edition Adacore took a set of packages that build together correctly.  I tried to build a set of components from the free version (gcc 8.2 and later), gprbuild, etc.  At the time, the other important components didn't all build successfully.  Some components were ahead of others.  So I wasn't able to build, for example, gps.

You'll have that issue on FSF because AdaCore don't tag for FSF releases
like they should.

Having CE available is a massive mistake, one which they are realising
far too late, imo.
