I would not agree with that. It's very popular for instrument control. Buy any high end bit of test kit and it will come with drivers for Labview. It allows one to rapidly develop systems, and that is what engineering in the commercial world is all about. I think a lot of people who program in Labview are quite capable of programming in C, but find Labview quicker. > It's also > very, very expensive. Yes. Then so is MATLAB once you buy a few toolboxes. I think to do anything very useful with MATLAB, it starts to cost more than Mathematica. None of these tools are cheap, but Labview and MATLAB are very common in engineering.
