I really want to get into it, but I had trouble getting the default IDE up & running. And standalone python was too troublesome to code/visualize, the feedback loop got too long, especially compared to pure UI CAD such as Fusion360

I use cq-editor[1]. For sure CadQuery and CQ-editor have a insanely sucky install experience. I never got it to work by following conda guides. I run NixOS so for me it's as installing it as a package.
