Because it's simply the best G-Code interpreter around !!

Ever see a pro ice skater ?? That's EMC.

The GUI looks just like Windows. And is just a means to an end
anway ,.. the control screen. Learning curve? Use steppermod , no
tuning,.. set a couple of basic things in the ini file such as how
many steps per inch and your milling.

I put off trying EMC for the same reasons and was a little
disappointed installing it,.. no challenge,... like ms windows can be
sometimes.

Try it,... help is here. You will the regret it!
