Showerthought: The G Code from that 1990s Mazak is way better than modern Haas stuff

I know everyone here is all about the Haas controls but I swear the old Mazak M32 controller I ran at a shop in Toledo 3 years ago was way more forgiving. Last month I had to run a part on a new Haas VF-2 and the thing kept throwing errors for tool offsets that were fine on the Mazak. Has anyone else had better luck with older controls over new ones?

Is it just me or is this like how everything new is somehow more complicated than it needs to be, like my buddy's new truck has a damn tablet for a dashboard but takes 4 steps to turn on the heat?

Wait, you actually prefer the M32? Bro that thing is ancient, I'm genuinely shocked anyone runs those still. The Haas may be annoying but at least it doesn't feel like using a graphing calculator from 1992.
