I started modeling in OpenSCAD. It fit really well with my programmer mentality. The language is small, the concepts simple and you can do some really amazing things with it, far more than might be obvious from the primitives... except filleting and chamfering.

The limitations caught up really quickly after that.

I echo what the other folks are saying. Its great, but there is no "I knocked this out in 10 minutes in OpenSCAD" for any part that couldn't be done in less time in TinkerCAD.

Its difficult to imagine how you could fix this elegantly. "Pick a path that follows the intersection of these two solids" is difficult to express in code, and easy to express by clicking on the vectors that represent the path.
