I just went through this journey, except I learned freecad.

You end up having to click and enter so many numbers if you need exact dimensions, so I'm planning on switching to cadquery.

It would be cool to make a framework for modifying cadquery code with natural language, for example "make box 1 and box 1 flush" or "create two concentric semi-spheres and subtract the smaller one from the larger one"

But idk, maybe once you're fast at fusion this kinda stuff is faster to hotkey than speak
