So W6 since October: small handbag now extra, but large cabin bag for free.
FR from January: large cabin bag for extra, small handbag for free (no change)

Amazingly, the policy applies to bookings made before the announcement date (surprised thats even legal...) I think, back in October around the same time W6 improved their policy.
Slightly misleading... large bag is still free of charge however it will be placed into the hold if you do not have priority boarding.
With W6 if you turned up with large cabin bag (and haven't paid for it), they charged you no matter what, FR won't charge you
