AFAIK FreeCAD's core OpenSCAD replacement is being suggested for replacement with an alternative so things may further improve.

OpenSCAD in a FreeCAD context does address many of the limitations of OpenSCAD, but it's not perfectly compatible.

That's a shame.

If I could use FreeCAD by programming in OpenSCAD, I'd be far more inclined to use it.

There is another workbench — indeed I think this is possibly a candidate to replace the core one:

There's also a CadQuery 2 workbench now: https://github.com/CadQuery/cadquery-freecad-workbench/

Thanks!

It's especially nice that CadQuery has come full circle (having started as a workbench).
