I am running V-Carve Desktop and a X-Carve. Other than Easel, what is being used to run the X-Carve?
Vectric offers Vtransfer:

There’s a list of other options at: Using Grbl · gnea/grbl Wiki · GitHub and more listed on the Shapeoko wiki.
I use the universal gcode sender.
I use V-Carve Desktop also, and use Universal G-Code Sender. Love it.
CNCJs is another good option.
I have CNCs that are not Xcarves. One is GRBL and the other has its own proprietary sender.
I do run designs in Easel because it is easy to use and I can create projects with my grade school aged children. I export the GCode to my shop PC and then I can use GRBL to run my LinkSprite or I can send commands to my Techno-Isel.
I do use Vectric Vcarve and skip Easel entirely for some projects. Vectric will also directly drive my vinyl cutter.
Candle cnc is good use z probre and home
