That looks like a really nice approach.

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.
