    The interactive approach should be just as future proof. Programmatic interfaces are not really suitable for many designers. Who work more intuitively with direct visual interaction. I couldn’t imagine doing really complex stuff programmatically.

      Exactly. I mean, I like OpenSCAD, but there are things that are effectively impossible to do in it that are easy with a more visual piece of modelling software. Good for utility parts that need precise tolerances, not so good for dragon statues.
