  Mainly the language and the lack of immediate feedback, along with the fact that it's more verbose than the point-and-click interface of Fusion. I will try out the Python version, though, it sounds interesting.

I personally find it difficult manipulating 3D objects by with a 2D cursor. I've spent a fair amount of time on the point-and-click editor in Blender, and I find it less confusing to have a textual expression of the shapes at hand. Perhaps the one (possibly accidental) killer-feature about OpenSCAD is that it works well with external editors, such as vim.
