But we have found an alternative for Just Macros. And it can more than Just Macros. Also it's free because it is a open source project.
With Bitfocus companion
https://bitfocus.io/companion/ you can control the atem, hyperdeck, multiview 4 and even Vmix, or an GrandMA2 lighting consoles. It works with the Elgato stream deck and iDisplay Infinitton control surfaces.
I have see this working at a company who use this in there master control room for controlling the serval BMD Smarthub. They use the beta version now for almost 2 month's. And it is stable solution for replacing Just Macros.

Seems like it *might* work (ATEM software being out of sync with FW on the actual hardware) but I'd be surprised if any have JM running on the same computer as their ATEM Software. It bit me a few weeks ago after I updated the laptops, panel and switcher and neglected to remember to update the JM computer. Anyway, good luck.
Streamdeck is a great solution powerful and being constantly updated, however I would not refer to it as JM replacement (yet).
Thank you all for the replies. Streamdeck and Companion seems like a great product but it doesn't really fit the same purpose.
For example, just from a mere point of number of buttons in a row, the minimum I'd like is 8 Inputs, Cut and Auto in the same row. Preferably even have the Media Players buttons there too.
I can have that with the simple XK-16 but not even the Streamdeck XL offers more that 8 buttons in a row.
and there are other reasons for Xkeys too.
I did order the small Streamdeck just to check it out and have some macros at hand with the nice graphic buttons etc but it's not a replacement.
Is there really no simple tool to program Xkeys to control ATEM?
