I have built FluidCAD[1] to overcome the issues of CAD by code, less mental effort to design by providing visual guidance. Slowly it became more of a hybrid CAD experience (mouse or code driven), almost all features now can be done by mouse and the code is generated for you. It'll pick the right selection filters for you.
Build123d could really benefit from being able to add features interactively (including explicit constraints) and options like freecad and Onshape could really benefit from explicitly representing the model as code.
Build123d seems to require a lot of coding to calculate constraints and positions that could be more easily expressed using something like the solvespace constraint engine and some construction lines.
I love what I see so far with FluidCAD! I'm a Fusion user that keeps bouncing off FreeCAD, and I have dabbled with build123d. Very interested to see where this project goes as it seems to be great combination of gui-driven and code-driven cad.
