Is there any idiots guide to GUIs? was created by mwc
Now that I've solved the issues with getting EtherCAT drives to work, I'm looking at GUI options, however I'm wondering if there's any kind of guide as to pros/cons of each GUI option?
First machine I'd like to try this on is a plasma table, but potentially also re-retrofitting a mill, and I'd like some kind of commonality between them, but I'm kind of stuck in not knowing what to go for.
I know there's QtPlasmaC and QtDragon, but also the MonoKrom option.

Different GUIs are created to meet the specific needs of some users. There are no overall better or worse ones, they are better or worse for a given operator or a given machine. For example, I have vision problems, so Axis has too small a font, and QtDragon turns me off just by looking at it. But other people use it and praise it, but they don't even want to hear about Gmoccapy, which is a great choice for me...
