So - I'm excited about the potential, but nervous about potentially being locked into a development environment that I've never been particularly fond of. I wonder - how many school have classes with Labview.....

I share nearly all of your sentiments.
I don't consider the proprietary Labview Real-Time environment to be anything even close to mainstream and it appear that all of FIRST is now wedded to the Labview programming paradigm. I see little more than lip service to the C/C++ development possibilities. We'll see what shows up in the next few weeks.
