I think it would be great if QtPyVCP were included in Linuxcnc. I'm not sure how you mean it would undermine qtvcp? Isn't Linuxcnc stronger with more options for users? As the developer of Probe Basic and speaking on behalf of the thousands of Probe Basic users out there I am sure they would also like to see an easier method of installation. I know JT has many UI's that are used and Joco and Rod have been working on a really awesome plasma ui and Turboss is constantly pushing the envelope with new functionality and features for non standard machine types. Making these more accessible for users would only increase the possibility of attracting new users and open up development pathways for future growth and additions of UI development. I know JT also has been working on a config builder that is working really nicely and has added some features making setting up Mesa very simple and streamlined. I think this would be a very good things for Linuxcnc, and i say that with out Bias as I think qtvcp is great also and also adds strength to Linuxcnc's future growth path. Those are my thoughts at elast!
