OpenSCAD required bottom-up approach, starting from smallest features to be able to transform their position in a final model. Too hard for actual real things to make reason about. I'm a programmer for 20 years and can't use OpenSCAD.

CadQuery is more abstract and manageable, allows to base your workflow on workplanes and start from big features, top-bottom. It's a nice approach for small models but assemblies are a real pain.
