So what do you guys feel about programming with lab view? Worth it or not?
I just kinda picked up EasyC in just a few hours. For someone who has programmed before, it was mostly self-explanitory. For seasoned veterans at programming, I would recommend using EasyC for "prototyping" code. Since it uses the flowchart blocks for building its code, it can quickly be used to verify that a camera tracking or accelerometer function works. The drag and drop is a lot quicker than hand coding or copy/pasting it in MPLAB. Once your code works fine in EasyC, then I would suggest that veteran programmers move on and redo everything in MPLAB if they want. Or you can continue to use EasyC. It's really up to your own personal preference.
