There are lots of answers out there. The true answer is, it really depends on the situation that fits your style.Some CNC programmers like the old tried and true method using TurboCNC. TurboCNC runs on a DOS program, so if you are old school and hate Microsoft, you will never have to deal with that.
TurboCNC is available as a download on DAK Engineering's website for only $60.00. This software can be used to run CNC machines with up to 8 axis. The owner of the site says he also accepts other forms of payment like local treats and foreign coins! Check out his website for that comment.
The other type of CNC program would be one with lots more bells and whistles such as Mach3. Mach3 is designed by ArtSoft division of newfangled devices and is used to convert a standard PC to a fully functional 6 axis CNC controller.
You can check out all of the details about the Mach3 CNC software on ArtSoft USA.
