What I'm seeing is people who are versed in Line-Based Code bash on Labview for being too simple. Labview users defend themselves by saying that it is much more complex.

I agree, Labview is very complex. You guys complaining about Labview probably haven't used it extensively enough. You don't have enough background information to actually fairly judge it. It's as if I judged C++ for creating too many lines of text because I don't know how to use command/subsystem prompts or certain functions that can shorten code confuse me so I don't use it.

The only problem I see with Labview is that not very many teams use it (at least in San Diego), so your code support is very low. Other than that, you just have to know how to use it.

TL;DR The sword is only as powerful as it's beholder. But if you choose the labview sword you won't get much tech support at regionals.
