CoreXY seems quite popular at the moment, with a range of printers now available from manufacturers. This is on top of great designs such as the Hypercube on Thingiverse. In this video, a comparison between CoreXY, various cartesian and the delta motion system is made, exploring the strengths and weaknesses of each.

A summary for CoreXY:
-Space efficient
-Rigid cube frame (typically)
-Two stepper motors sharing X/Y movement 99% of the time
-Fast and precise when used with a light print head, which is generally inherent with no moving bed for X and Y
-Belt tension is critical
-A rigid frame and pulley system is critical
-Getting these wrong may ruin the output of the printer, getting them right may raise the cost.
