Surprisingly, the big benefits of CAD as code for me are that I think it is *much* easier to go back and change things after an iteration. Git is helping with that, sure, but also the format in general.
I also have an issue with many tutorials, they start with a fully designed part on paper that you then just rebuild in a software; that is not my approach at all. I want to design the thing in my software. Of course that requires lots of iterations.
