Well LabVIEW IS the most used of the FRC Languages (this poll doesn't reflect that, however NIparkway's report, which has polled 700 teams, does.). The reasons are also fairly obvious. Its graphical which is a draw to new programmers, designed for one-off products, such as FRC Robots, which makes it useful for this task, and made by NI, same as the cRio, which subconsciously makes you feel like you have good support behind what you are using.
