The Vex platfrom essentially uses only C programming in one form or another. You have two choices. Either A.) use easyC or B.) use MPLAB and write your code out manualy in the IFI default code. If you have a particular problem with the C programming language, then you are stuck unfortunatly. However, don't toss away easyC without using it. It is a very powerful tool that I know anyone can use. I personally trained a fifth grader to use easyC within two hours, and I also worked with a group of 7-8th graders at a Vex camp who were all also able to learn how to program.

Perhaps if you gave more information as to why you dislike NQC or easyC, we may be able to help you more.
