Hi Gene >From discussions with users of my now-archived Gui, they were using it for anything from laser 'etching' wood with a lot of tiny moves to a Bridgeport and 2" facemills. Grbl is quite capable, people get hung up on the lack of some G codes and tool changes but for the most part in small shops and hobbyists it makes little difference. Even for thread milling and drilling there are other options to generate gcode. Fusion360 has a post for Grbl so it is possible to stay within its limits.
Grbl is certainly much easier to install than IinuxCNC so if it does enough then that is a plus in my opinion. Grbl gets few updates because in the main it is supported by 1 person who is busy with life.

But LCNC has progressed beyond grbl, or that is my understanding. I haven't actually seen a comparison of what each can do. Does such exist? I suspect not, as it would be quickly rendered out of date by the next github commit.
