I gave it a try on my slowest NopSCADlib test, doing 3D rounding with 3
Minkowskis. It failed to produce a result. I think it doesn't like close
vertices like OpenSCAD but worse.

Being able to highlight a line in the code with a "#", or to change a
color or use "%" is essential. The lack of that feature in AngelCAD is
a show-stopper for me. Carsten does not seem to feel that these
functions are as important to him as they are to me.
That said, AngelCAD is a wonderful tool for some specific situations.

I have used AngelCAD, in fact I prefer the structure/language to
openscad scripting, however, the quick f5 rendering in openscad is
useful, and there is more activity here, on the openscad mailing list,
always someone/s can help when you get stuck. Unfortunately, there are
very few folk, at least that I know of, who have an active interest in
AngelCAD, which imnsho is a great pity. However, it is easy enough for
anyone using openscad to drop in the openscad script into AngelCAD and
quickly get an stl file - in a few seconds instead of many minutes, in
many cases.

That is always an option, but if you are familiar with OpenSCAD syntax
and just want it to run faster, running .scad scripts in AngelCAD can
make sense.

My thinking has been that OpenSCAD needs preview because full processing
is sometimes very slow, but in AngelCAD full processing is often close
to instantaneous, so the need for preview is much less.
Clearly the preview with colours and everything in OpenSCAD is very
nice, but it is a very different line of development than what has been
the main focus in AngelCAD, i.e.
a) Use a full blown language that runs, not just declares
b) Processing speed
If you want preview and you have an .scad model, you can use OpenSCAD
for that. If you have the same .scad script open in OpenSCAD and
AngelCAD, it should refresh in both editors automatically if saved to
disk. Press F5 in OpenSCAD for the preview and when ready press F6 in
AngelCAD to generate the STL.

My previews are not manifold, they just look the part, so they mostly give
errors in AngelCAD. And even ones that are manifold in OpenSCAD give errors
so I decided it wasn't at all compatible.
