This is absolutely an impressive toolset, because it provides a bridge between the CSG => STL world (OpenSCAD, boolean operations, cutting shapes out of other shapes) and the STEP world of GUI CAD (faces, fillets, chamfers).
I struggle with GUI CAD and I'm still learning all of this stuff at the most noddy level, but I am very conscious that I will want to send stuff out to be manufactured one day, and that means I have to be able to get beyond STL to STEP. So I am going to be spending more time with CADQuery and trying to use what it helps me visualise in FreeCAD as well.
There is now a FreeCad workbench for CadQuery 2.0 which I have not yet tried:
