NURBS usually requires relatively specialized libraries[0], which don't exist (at high enough quality) in the open source community.

There is fully opensource cross-platform NURBS modeler — Ayam[0], but it looks not NOT user friendly (as for me).

Also there is FreeShip Plus[1] which is truly NURBS 3D CAD.
