I'm tired of OpenSCAD. BOSL2 makes it tolerable but I'm hitting polygon limits and customization limits. OpenSCAD doesn't plan on allowing customizable customizer UI. Find something else. The parameter input should be very simple for new users.
CadHub community will have some ideas

CadQuery looks good. Similar to OpenSCAD, it's a 3d model scripting language, but using Python with all that Python library support and a nice GUI. Supports STEP export for easy use in other CAD tools.

I'm having environmental issues with miniconda. I'll come back to this.
FreeCAD (realthunder branch) is also a possibility. The branch supports parameter sets. Not sure about the build workflow but scripting is available.

Cascade Studio, another 3d modeling programming language. It uses the Open Cascade kernel, what FreeCAD uses. Runs in the browser, codes in javascript, definable GUIs. Might be cool.
