The reason for the switch from MK to Linuxcnc, the Linuxcnc project just has a better feel, IMHO, and the forum appears to have more members that use it in a commercial setting. I'm not saying that the former statement
is gospel.

Yes, MachineKit is great if you want to run CNC on a very small, cheap set of boards. But, the MachineKit software project is almost moribund, there has been VERY little further development. I think that is sad, they had some VERY exciting ideas, but some of them might have been hard to implement.

LinuxCNC is still being very actively developed, with daily commits to the repository. My main CNC machine is a Bridgeport, so having extremely compact control hardware is not so
important.
