Is switching from LabVIEW a bad idea?

[Phalanx]

I'm the Mentor for my Team for both Software and Electronics.
I've been a low level ASSEMBLY language coder my entire career (30 yrs).

I personally don't like any OOP(Object Oriented Programming) whether it be JAVA, C++ or Labview. However, these are the choices we have to work with. So let me share my reasoning for recommending Labview.

My own personal food for thought..
1) National Instruments makes and supports the CRIO and it's Modules.
2) National Instruments makes and supports LabView.
So when something doesn't work as it should or as designed then you only have ONE place to point a finger at to get it corrected.

I have had this very issue in my professional career with software and hardware products that are "supposed" to work together. Here's how it usually goes.
Vendor A says it must be something with Vendor B's product.
Vendor B says it must be something with Vendor A's product.
Round and around it goes, until someone other(usually ME) than Vendor A or Vendor B clearly identify who's problem it really is.

So I'd rather have one vendor to point a finger at, that can't point it at anyone else except themselves.

I'm only sharing my thoughts, my views, my experiences, the decisions are ultimately up to your team.
