To be clear - I do think OpenCascade is impressive. Incredibly so, once one becomes aware of the magnitude of the problem it is trying to solve. I will also admit I haven't used it in the past couple of years, but when I did it's limitations in filleting and chamfering alone were enough to make it a non-starter for industry use.

My broader point was that there is a need to start from a new paradigm that leverages the possibilities of modern, highly parallel computing hardware. The hardware requirements for performant and reliable CAD software are incredibly high, and their reliance on high clock speed single core processors is quickly being left behind by modern processing hardware.
