Bartel's software is actually micro-stepping motors, up to 40 micro-steps.
It is not the question of "old" technology here (stepping and/or micro-stepping), because this part will not change significantly in the foreseeable future.
Please note, you have source code provided as well (C).. So, for someone who knows how to do it, it would not be a problem to rewrite the code for micro-stepping motor drivers.. even to put the whole thing into microcontroller...
