There is a RoboLab that supports the NXT, I think it's RoboLab 2.9.1. It was unofficially released last year to our team to help ease the passage from RCX to NXT for our FLL teams after our FRC programmer and I worked at the CEEO where the program was designed. However, I don't know when it will be officially released, if at all.
In my experience both mentoring and refing Bronx FLL, I have not seen an RCX since the debut of the NXT. It seems that most teams just decided to switch hardware and not stick to the past. Personally, I prefer the RCX on the sole basis that it's easier to build with, despite the lack of processing power in comparison to the NXT. I suppose I'm just old fashioned that way
