We are in the same situation with Bongle: I and other mentors have a lot of experience using C/C++, and no experience using LabView at all.
However, eclipse and WindRiver annoy me quite a deal. I've done a lot of work with visual studio in the past, and despite looking similar, the environments are both rather different (in particular: shortcut keystrokes, eclipse's millions of tabs, autocomplete, and the whole 'workspace' paradigm to name a few). The WindRiver-specific stuff seems to be mostly semi-intuitive, except there are a few places where at first it seemed like to do particular actions a particular option seemed like the way to do it -- but then it turns out it does it, but in a totally different way.
Despite those annoyances, as I am learning to deal with them I'm becoming more productive.
One thing we really love however is the ability to setup our laptops on a table in the gym, and sit there and do just about everything we need to do wirelessly without having to constantly walk over to the bot.
