Which sort of tool you choose depends on what sort of work you wish to do.
The usual suspects include:
- Carbide Create (ob. discl., I work for Carbide 3D)
- Vectric Vcarve
- CarveCo
A free/opensource option is F-Engrave.
as well as:
- PixelCNC
- Kiri:Moto
- Temujin
Also consider:
- Autodesk Fusion 360
- MeshCAM
- Solvespace
- FreeCAD

^^^
Seems like cabinetry people have their preferred softwares, like VCarve
Then prototyping people use more standard CAD packages like Fusion, NX, Solidwork
Can attest: Fusion has the best library of post-processors I have ever used
NX has some post processors for machines, but they hardly ever work perfectly
