Others you may want to try are OpenSCAD and BRL-CAD.
I will probably explore scripting based CAD in a different style since there's different breeds and they don't really fit the format. One I found out recently which seems very interesting is build123d which comes with more features out of the box (like fillets etc), a VSCode extension for live preview and generally I'd rather write Python than OpenSCAD
I exclusively use openscad. I can treat a project like software, with git and make.
