Architect here: nothing beats SketchUp on intuitiveness.

> traditional cad software that is so intuitive and easy to use

Autocad is the Emacs for CAD - you can even script it with Lisp. It's not intuitive at all, but once you master it, is unbeatable.

LeoCAD is CAD for kids in the first place. And this HN thread is mostly about CADs which are kids-friendly — usable just with its GUI elemnts & mouse/keyboard shortcuts (SolveSpace also one of such), without any needs in scripting at all.
