simple rounded shape
Is this automatic? Or do you have to change any setting options?

FWIW, this is pretty easy to do by hiding the editor Window:

You have to compile from source code.

Is gvim works for macbook air m1?
In case yes, how do I install this?

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.

Ensure that "Design / Automatic Reload and Preview" is checked.
I find, that the automatic preload is useful, but a bit of a pita with
the preview. If I have a script that takes a long time to preview,
because maybe too much Minkowski/whatever, and I cancel the run, when I
open it in the external editor, to edit it, it automatically starts
running again, so I have to go into the openscad editor tabs to turn
that feature off. Also, I find that now, in many instances, manifold is
much faster than the preview editor.

I often include conditionals that do things like reduce $fn in preview to
speed up rendering time

Yep, this.
Working a script right now with complex height map textures, I have to
comment out the hard part before I save it to finish the session, so it
doesn't auto-preview when I open it again.
So, I should probably put a render() on the hard part, no?

You can use the $preview in other places to speed preview: ex: for
(a=[0:$preview ? 1 : 10]) {...}.

Being a simplistic sort of person, I'd approximate that with a hull of
four ellipsoids, i.e. take a sphere stretched in two axes to make an
ellipsoid, repeat that for each of the corners and make a hull from those
four.
I doubt that's the most efficient way to do it though.
$fn=64;
translate([0,-20,0]) ellipsoid(5);
ellipsoid_array();
translate([0,20,0]) hull() ellipsoid_array();
module ellipsoid_array()
union() {
translate([0,0,0]) ellipsoid(5);
translate([16,0,0]) ellipsoid(5);
translate([16,0,5]) ellipsoid(5);
translate([0,0,5]) ellipsoid(5);
}
module ellipsoid(radius)
scale ([1.75,1,1.75]) sphere (r=radius);

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

Stand firm for what you believe in, until and unless logic and experience
prove you wrong. Remember: when the emperor looks naked, the emperor is
naked, the truth and a lie are not "sort-of the same thing" and there is
no aspect, no facet, no moment of life that can't be improved with pizza.
