Re: Teams happy with Wind River Workbench?

With half of our programming team having C/C++ experience and the other half being rookies, it may have made more sense to have used WRWB instead of LabView. However, the powers that be believe that C/C++ support is going to be phased out (personally,I don't feel that this would happen anytime soon, if ever) so this year we used NI LabView. This caused more than a few grumbles from veterans (myself included). I still have a few complaints about the amount of time it takes to implement simple operations in LabView vs the same operations in C/C++ (i.e. assigning the sum of two numbers to a variable), however, the connect-the-dots sort of layout makes it easier to read and document VIs than .cpp/.h files (not that half of our code is documented... ).
