I think this counts as flamebait. You should be a little bit more
careful when posting not very well thought-out messages like this, as it
will quickly devolve into a screaming match. Opinions allowed, but
outright mockery (especially with very little research to back it) is
never good.

You might also be surprised to find that many people on this list use
the parallel port for controlling their mills - it's actually quite a
good option because of it's low-cost and surprising reliablility. In
addition, Mach is one of the best machine controller packages (I know
of) on the market - a lot of people have very sucessfully refitted large
CNC machine to use mach as the controller as they find it preferable.
You can send G-codes down to a serial board, or drop in servo cards if
you want - but if the actual interface of the progam controlling this is
poor, you'll find the machine cumbersome and not very productive. In the
area of features and GUI, mach is excellent.

My 2c. Let's not turn this into a flame.
