Agreed. It felt really streamlined and the mental model felt instantly comfortable. If you want to rotate something you can select - rotate - fix axis - choose degree, all in a very programmatic way.
One thing I ran into was it seemed there are some shortcuts that are essential and basically wired to the number pad so I had to buy an external keyboard (and non trackpad mouse).
I haven't had time to get back to it again but I'm looking forward to sitting down and having another good play.
Edit I'm not super familiar with autocad but I make software for construction companies so I've seen it used a bit. You can do everything in a vim like command manner. I think it had a lisp prompt.
If you toggle `File -> User Preferences -> Input -> Emulate Numpad` you can have the usual number keys work like the numpad. I actually prefer it that way to so I can change the camera without having to move my hand all the way to the right of the keyboard.

I'll admit, I'm even less familiar with AutoCAD. I really just assumed from my experience with every other AutoDesk software I have seen.

AFAIK, AutoLISP is still one of the most prevalent lisps.
