I was just wondering how would you develop a simple rounded shape like
below in pure openSCAD:

That looks rather like a super ellipsoid. I wrote code for generating those
at some point, I will dig it up...

See if it compiles/runs - it looks like a large vitamin pill.

I always have that window closed.  I edit in gvim, OpenScad watches the file and updates when it changes.
I LOVE that.

I've changed the source code of openscad to automatically open gvim as
an editor, when I switch between the tabs in openscad the gvim switches
also.

The editor window stayes minimized, other wise you're not able to switch
between the tabs.

If interested I can share the code-changes.

Met vriendelijke groet,
