I'm a big fan of LabVIEW. The LabVIEW support FRC gets from National Instruments and WPI is wonderful. I also think it's a lot easier to work on a program as a group when the program is a dataflow diagram instead of a bunch of text.

C++ is great for someone who can get all the little syntactical details consistently right, but I'm not that someone. I find it way too easy to make subtle typing errors that result in a program that compiles without errors but doesn't work as intended.
