It is a bit overkill for this, specially if you do not know the
interface already. Otherwise it is really fast. It is (was?) not
oriented at unexperienced but at meeting deadlines.

That can be done with just one add sphere, then select half of it and
extrude, so you do not have continuity problems.

Nah, faking 3D in 2D apps is pretty old, most include filters that do
it, for simple shapes at least.
