Is this mostly a question of UI's instead of the underlying OS and app?
If you did not tell Joe Average that Linuxcnc runs on Linux and just had
him run the app I think he would be happy once he got on top of the
learning curve.
PathPilot seems to very well liked by Tormach users, others like Axis,
GMOsomething, going back Mini and even Keystick were used by many. It
seems most of the questions people that are casual or infrequent users
have is about the UI and setup. Setup is easy with wizards like Pncconf
and Stepconf and is no harder than Mach3/4.
UI's do have a learning curve and people have different uses and needs
which get focused through the UI. Some people live and die by a
tablet/smartphone and don't want anything else and that is fine. For me,
on my machines, I want a keyboard because for my use it is much faster.
Do we need a major update of Linuxcnc capabilities or do we need the
best UI?
