I wish both projects the very best, as I beleave both sides have there right to exist. The future will show what the user likes more. From my side I will try to go on with gmoccapy and my new baby luminos. It may cost a little bit more work, but I would be glade if my GUI would be in both projects a standard part of code.
So good luck machinekit and good luck linuxcnc.
