I agree there, CNC Linux is pretty cool, it can do a lot more than I
can ever learn about it.. and it's free...
you can't complain about free... especially if a ton of people like it..

...So, to make LinuxCNC nearly universal, hide it inside a product that

slick and easy to install and use. No one should have to look at HAL

will always remain a niche product.
Great stuff! So, when are you going to get started on this project?
I wrote that to show why it will never happen. But also to make a point
that there does exist a pattern in the way complex niche products become
mainstream. Usually, another layer is built around it. PCs were kind
of rare until Windows covered over the DOS command line.
And I wrote that because of all the pie in the sky whining about what this
set of programs needs to be, and no one stepping up to make the effort to
do something like that. The vast majority of LinuxCNC users are quite
happy with what our developers write for us to use. It's open source
software. If you don't like the direction LinuxCNC is going, fork off,
write your own version so that it does what you perceive to be the next
golden goose, thump your chest and tell the world you now have the latest
and best CNC machine controller.
Otherwise, lets stop flogging the deceased equine. Unless all you guys
that want this kind of stuff take the bull by the horns and start writing
the code for it, it ain't gonna happen.

My thoughts exactly Mark, this constant whining wears thin…
Cheers, Phill.
