These all seem backwards.

I like to think in shapes. I like to draw and sketch, as that has the lowest barriers between the mental concepts and physical ones.

I do not like to use cad software. It is painful to express ideas with it. Also same for all kinds of drawing software. It's just very cumbersome.

I hate explaining spatial or shape concepts to people with words. I hate having them explained to me in words.

A photographer doesn't explain his work, he shows photos he has taken.

Adrian Newey used to work with pen and paper while others had been using CAD for a long time, and won F1 championships.

Can we now make the computers less clunky and less about typing or hunting with the mouse. We want low friction to express ideas.

This seems the opposite. You're not expressing your idea, you're asking for the computer's idea.
