Well I took the time to watch the video last night and although it's limited it's well worth watching to make your own mind up.
Bobcad V20 / 21 it definitely isn't.
In 20 / 21 you selected tool path from the cad screen and entered tool details, speeds feeds atc and 20 / 21 then wrote that section of the code.

In 22 or to give it the correct name 2007, you work off an operation tree at the side, all selections, tools which are linked to speeds feeds etc, lead in's out etc and done from this list.
Then when all operations are done the ost is run and the code generated.
Any alterations are done from the operations tree and reposted, no editing of code needed.

Now what the code looks like is anyones guess at this point. No simulation is shown in the short video.
They have made a move in the right direction and I'd like to see a demo version.
