Just came here to talk about OpenSCAD. http://openscad.org

it can also be used in blender, embedded into other applications. design cad as code, use git version control for your objects & designs. vs-code has plugins, or use the openscad

for many hackernews oriented persons this approach will be better than using a mouse.

OpenSCAD is only really suitable for highly parameterised or programmatic shapes. Stuff like fasteners, gears, belts, chains, art, etc.

Those things are really the exception in CAD. It would be masochistic to use OpenSCAD for the things CAD is more commonly used for (consumer products for example).
