What is the issue?
Why do a lot of people recommend F3X?

Because it is an amazing tool that offers many features. I personally do not use it, but a lot of people do.

I personally don’t know, I don’t use f3x much but I think the studio tools are the best to use, I mean f3x is basically just an edit of roblox studios. I prefer to just use roblox studios but that is just my opinion.

F3X can be easier. Better keybinds, faster, it has some features the built in ones do not. It can be faster and I’ve been on both sides but I use the in built tools nowadays. F3X can be very good for beginners as it’s easy to learn
Because it’s a useful plugin with easy to learn building tools. I personally think the controls are better than default Studio.
I’ve used it before, and it saves you time. It has easy keybinds so everything is more accessible, and it simply makes things easier for most people.
However, I don’t use it because it essentially uses the tools of Studio and bundles it into one (but it does have some neat features that regular Studio doesn’t have). I already learned all the tools on Studio well, so I don’t have much use for it.
I personally don’t recommend using F3X, studio is easy enough to access with all the shortcuts compared to F3X.

F3X feels smooth and easy to use while normal studio feels clunky and weird for me atleast.

I think the reason most people find F3X to be a very useful and helpful plugin when it comes to building is because it’s pretty easy to use & it makes building things less tedious. It also has a few features that studio doesn’t have which I guess saves a lot of time. I personally don’t like it though, I prefer using studio.
I generally use F3X all the time! In my view This is a lot better than studio tools. Specially When It Comes To Scaling In My Opinion.
I have one reason and one reason I can think of that hasn’t been stated by @ScytheSlayin (good job btw) and I believe it’s because it’s easy to use. The controls are all in once place and you don’t have to go searching for them. Plus I find that when people use f3x they become reliant on it but eventually f3x won’t work well anymore so that’s why I stick to Roblox Studio which will always outlast a plugin on Roblox.

Building plugins such as the Building Tool created by F3X make building simpler as well as complex. It gives you shortcuts to make building easier and features that allow you take your building to another level entirely. A big feature is selected point rotation. This allows you to make rotation based on an object’s selected point. There is also more options for moving, scaling, and rotating such as moving along the World Axes, the Last Selected Axes, and the Object Axes. I personally don’t use F3X’s building tool because I prefer Build V4 but I do believe it still has adequate functionality. I’ve also heard good things about Studio Build Suite.
I agree that while these wonderful tools have been around for several years, they may one day be broken and never fixed again. It may be smart to stick to studio’s default tools but I believe that you should utilize these powerful tools for maximum efficiency while they are still functional.
Also, I can’t recommend Build V4 enough. It looks pretty ugly, but it will definitely get the job done.

I bug my friend into using F3X because personally, it works for me but I’m the type of builder to use hotkeys for my building and my friend likes to select it instead of using hotkeys. I also like the fact I don’t have to check properties for some stuff, unlike Roblox studio. That’s just me though. I find it the best and easiest to use for my builds. The only downside is I can’t save my move # stud and sometimes I forget it’s manually put to 1 but that’s just a minor annoyance that comes with it. Other than that it’s perfect for me!
In my opinion i dont like it because im that person that doesnt use shortcuts and the only situation i use it in is resizing objects in some ways but very rarely. I just got used to the normal roblox tools and sticked to it.
Because F3X is a very handful tool you can do somethings that will be hard to do in the studio itself and you also have the option to build in your game and copy it and paste it in your studio.
F3X is popular for many reasons ranging from its utilisation of keybinds for tools to its ability to preform actions that would otherwise be impossible using regular studio tools.
For example I use F3X primarily when I want to move parts on their local axis rather than on their global axis or if I want to paint parts in a model quickly and easily

It’s just way easier to use than studio.

F3X is streamlined by many people due to it’s popularity and long presence on the platform. Other than that I personally do not endorse nor use the tool since Roblox Studio has majority of the tools it has and for fine placements I compensate that with SBS, Tomarty’s Geometry Tools and Archimedes.
I think F3X is also popular due to making it very easy to use studio, this is why I think mostly beginners use these tools to just have better time accessing everything although it’s always best to learn to use the studio over using a plugin to do all those workarounds for you. That’s just my thought though.

I don’t really recommend it since I believe studio tools are the best, but many people may use it because they prefer the UI or some other reason

I cant believe people still use F3X to this day, it used to be a trend some years ago but now is quite bad for the tools roblox has to this day, and they seem to be upgrading them at some point this year, you can even test the beta now.
As for the rest, just use Maya or blender for hard stuff.
