Hi. I used it a bit. If I owned a license, I reckon I would have stayed using it. It feels more stable / accomplished than Mach 3. Currently using Mach 4 as there was no cost to me for it. Just rewiring my machine at the moment in preparation for a potential house move, so will start to use the machine more once that is done.
It seems like a decent bit of software. My biggest concern (ignoring the additional cost) is lack of support / few people use it. So if you want to solve an issue or get a macro sorted, you might struggle. CS Labs themselves will respond but I find it takes long and then they often only answer some or a few questions and ignore the rest.
They have some basic macro guides - think based on Python, need to check, but not a lot more.
Whereas if you look at Centroid, you will see an excess of documentation and active users helping each other - I dont see this in the CS Labs ecosystem.
