LabView/C++ equally capable?

A while back, there was a thread about autonomous camera tracking.

http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...threadid=76991

There seemed to be a consensus forming that teams who had success getting the camera to track well enough used C++ and not LabView. This got me thinking about why this might be and what it means for the future of LabView as a programming option in FRC.

First, was that consensus correct? If so, will we see teams that really want to make the most of their controller abandon LabView or will more effort be put in by the LabView developers to provide comparable capability?
