I guess that MAch only outputs the trajectory points into KFLOP.
I'm not really familiar with Kmotion. It is probably more simple than Mach.

But why is it so bad? External hardware does the job even better.
Of course LCNC is much more configurable. And say 5i25+7i77 equals to KFLOP
in price and does more. But for a simple machine, for somebody used to
Mach... why not?

So to answer the original question:  LinuxCNC and Mach3 are two entirely
