I would agree that Labview can be frustrating. However, NI has gone through significant pains to make it very easy to use for FIRST. I would recommend Labview because it is the easiest (in my opinion) to teach to students, as well as for them to troubleshoot. I am going out on a limb thinking that there are probably more visual learners out there than any other. Labview is ideal for this group.
