OpenSCAD is very much a hobbyist tool, I'm afraid. It has some internal representation issues (just try generating a STEP to see a few), but there are worse problems. Like the lack of easy fillets and chamfers, or the impossibility of cosmetic surfacing (often very hard even with good tools).

The reality is that the professional market is majority SolidWorks and everyone else fights over the rest. Though Dassault seems to be turning the screws a little too tight these days, so you never know what's in store in the future.
