When I wrote stepconf, my purpose was to reduce the amount of support required by a new user with a sherline-class machine before he can start to do basic milling tasks. I don't see this as fitting that goal. On the other hand, for a user who has both the need for a custom panel for *really custom* stuff, and the willingness to learn enough hal and pyvcp to effectivlely hook up that panel, it will not be much of a barrier if the nontrivial examples are more than one click away in the stepconf GUI.
