    I use this for creating models for #3DPrinting. I can't draw, so #FreeCAD etc aren't useful to me, but I can write code pretty darn good 😜 . This replaces my previous workflow, which was a custom Python library on top of either #PythonOpenSCAD or #OpenPySCAD, either of which then renders to #OpenSCAD code.

    (No one in their right mind should use OpenSCAD's native language/syntax directly 😱 )

    #OpenSCAD - define your model with code - but with a sane front-end on it to avoid its brutally stupid language. In my case, I use #pythonopenscad.

    The OpenSCAD program even lets you hide the editor pane and auto-reload when the #model file changes. It's like it was designed to let you avoid using its language 😜

    model-as-code is great for engineering-type designs. Not so good for artsy, fluid, organic stuff.
