From what I've seen so far the VEX is a work in progress. The programing part has not yet been reveled. The programing environment will show how far the VEX platform can go. This is a tough problem for the developers. To throw the Microchip IDE and c compiler at a mass marketing effort will lead to low sales. A scripting language like the Lego's will leave the real power of the controller untouchable and risk loosing the advanced user. This summer should show more of the capabilities of the platform. I may be flamed for saying this but, I believe a well done basic interpreter would be a good compromise.
