> OpenSCAD is programmatic which suits someone with a software engineering background
Perfect. I already knew how to code, so it was just a question of minutes to learn the basic stuff of the language and then I could just do what I wanted.
Fusion360, AutoCAD and organic modeling tools like Blender you need to learn several concepts, keybindings, navigating through menus, panels, tabs, workspaces, etc, etc. So many things _before_ doing something. In OpenSCAD you can even code in the text editor you're already familiar and then use it only to render the object (which can also be done through CLI!)
