Teaching freshmen with it is insanely easy(especially when you have the pretty pictures enabled) because it allows them to visualize what's going on more easily, which IMHO is the most important part of FRC programming, or programming in general for that matter.
The main problem with RobotBuilder so far for us is the lack of CANTalon support. Also, we have ~7 Windows computers and 1 Mac, and currently RobotBuilder only opens on the Mac, except for the fact that it does not export.
