Common complaint, hence it's well know as Bobcrap :) For routers and the like the Vectric software is hard to beat http://www.vectric.com/ Good support and easy to use. For turning and milling I use FeatureCam. It has it's quirks but it's highly configurable and relatively easy to edit the post processor files to suit any machine. For CAD I use Rhino. I've probably used just about every major CAD/CAM package out there and always end up back with these. None are Linux packages, or free though.
