LabVIEW vs. Easy C

I'm somewhat new to FIRST Robotics (ie, I worked with the team when I was a freshman, and now I'm a senior helping out again), and I have kind of an important question.

The last three years, they've used Easy C to program the robot, but this year our sponsor is wanting us to switch to LabVIEW. And to be quite honest, I don't understand it at all. It seems to me almost like CAD, just something to show a visual representation. I don't see a way to even download code to a robot.

I guess what I'm asking is, should I stick with easy C? Or will LabVIEW work for me if I just stick it out?
