Im not asking for a user_routines.c or a user_routines_fast.c file, but will those of us who have in the past sweared by programming in mplab than easy C be lost or hindered by our past programming experience?
Yes, you will still be able to write all your code for the new controller as plain text. Just note that you will be using Eclipse, which IMHO is much superior to MPLAB.

I understand that there are many new and interesting features that come with the national instruments controller, but are there many teams out there who are confident that they can use them as advertised?
Don't worry, the new software development options for both coding in C++ and working with LabView should make it easy to start getting advanced results.
