From a readability and "ease of use" side gcode
really sucks. For a hobby mill why not design your
own control language around good readability and
ease of editing. You only need a few basic move,
delay and coordinate commands.

Then it's very easy to code up a file converter
from gcode to your own easy to read language.
Gcode is a dinosaur that was NEVER designed to be
used for complex milling. :o)
