If that is what the team uses then I would learn it. Would you rather have a group of guys that can program in LabView or have one guy that can program in C++. I also don't see why C++ is any more powerful than LabView. I have written code more advanced than what one of our mentors did in C++ with LabView. I will say LabView is a little...silly? but I do the like how easy it is to debug and get live feedback. My question is why not learn both?
