I found it confusing for a similar reason especially when you get into more complicated designs with multiple parts.

I think development could be massively sped up with a little funding. I tried libfive (https://libfive.com/studio/) too which is roughly similar to OpenSCAD but faster to sketch with imo. There was a good discussion here on this topic too if you were interested: https://forum.openhardware.science/t/open-source-cad-and-ope...
