I get tired of this MACH3 bashing! What EXACTLY does it mean that it's too buggy? What EXACTLY does it mean that it is more"stable"?

Everybody wants to rag on MACH3 but nobody (except maybe a few like Ray) will really tell you what is ACTUALLY the problem. I suspect that most people have HEARD there are problems, but only a few actually had any problems.

As far as I'm concerned, EMC2 can't possibly be 100 times more stable. Frankly if MACH3 was SO UNSTABLE, it would be totally useless. ArtSoft has sold enough licenses, it can't possibly be useless.

There is also NO WAY that EMC2 is TEN TIMES better. Plus it is at least TEN TIMES MORE DIFFICULT to set up (not 3).
