As far as CV programming is concerned, the latest version (V4.7.7) of JMRI is just as capable as the latest LokProgrammer (V4.5.3).
LokProgrammer is very much faster at Read All Sheets and Write All Sheets than JMRI.
JMRI can Read and Write single sheets or Variables/CVs. Lokprogrammer cannot
JMRI can Program on Main. LokProgrammer cannot.
JMRI can read CV export lists from LokProgrammer. LokProgrammer cannot read any CV export lists.
LokProgrammer can write new Sound Projects and rewrite project default CV settings. JMRI cannot do either.
JMRI can correctly identify the decoder type of any fourth generation ESU decoder.
You must "Read Type from decoder" in New Loco and use the chosen definition.
You MUST Read Sheet before making any changes to ESU decoders. Every sound project has different default values.
If you are programming speed tables, ESU interprets speed tables slightly differently. You ned to use the correct ESU definition and read the instructions on the Speed table pane carefully. Program Track or Program on main work equally well for Speed Tables (or any other pane, but you must Read Sheet first for the complex panes where you are not changing everything).
I added the last ESU updates only a few days ago and they are in V4.7.7.
I have a good working relationship with Matthew Herman of ESU LLC. The latest ESU firmware incorporates a change I negotiated on behalf of NCE system users for full compatibility with NCE Advanced Consisting.
I have put a lot of development time into adding ESU-specific features to JMRI.

I seem to be having trouble programming my Loksound micro v4 with jmri.
I am still finding my way with Loksound.Find them very confusing at times.for e.g..can i program Loksound on the "main "as well as "program track"? I am battling to load the speed tables.The decoder doesn't seem to accept the programming.
I guess i just want to know if loksound is good with jmri?
