Yeah, sometimes it seems there is a certain kind of devs who don't just like code for the sake of it, but have an active hostility against GUI tools and visualization in general, for whatever reasons.

I get the appeal of "change a number and regenerate everything" as well as "you can store everything in git" - but there is no reason why a decent visual CAD program couldn't do both of them just as well.

In contrast, the ability to actually see a part in front of me and not having to mentally visualize it the whole time seems substantial to me.
