So I'm curious, under what standard was the gCode generator built?

Having experimented with a handful of EDA gcode generators, every single
one outputs a different style of gcode. And, too add to this mess, every
single CAM and machine controller responds differently to gcode styles.

This is very annoying.

I also notice that no one sticks to a standard of something such as
turning on a spindle, specifying speed, and so on.

Where are the options to adjust the output of the gcode, so the gcode
output from PCB editor can produce something useful, and not having to
go through yet another damn program in the toolchain to generate a PCB
from a pretty picture on the screen?
