This is seriously impressive. You can tell how much thought and intention went into the philosophy behind it

Thank you so much!

This could be neat for schools and absolute beginners I guess. But I think the "basic shapes + booleans" workflow is going to be much more annoying than "sketch + extrude" that you see in almost every other parametric CAD program.

Agree!

Sketching 2D shapes is a very natural way to start thinking about shapes.

That's why there is a sketch + extrude.

Here are few examples - 42 seconds to a desk organizer

Or quick wavy vase.

The booleans and extrusion shapes are complements - both fitting different type of modeling.

Booleans are not only about shaping but also about composing individual parts to more complex assemblies.

So one can extrude few parts, then eg. combine them with a join.

Ooo that is quite impressive. You should import SovleSpace's sketcher!

What CAD kernel are you using? OpenCASCADE?
