The flip side is that for people who start out learning LabVIEW, it's confusing to find that the equivalent of a Case block is done in a procedural language like C using several completely different structures, each with utterly different syntax.
Why is the name such a big deal, anyway? It's a different language, and things do not map directly from one to the other. If you insist on calling things by the name of something similar in another language, I think you make it even more confusing. Someone looking for something that acts like a C "switch" certainly isn't going to expect to find it named "if".
