Agreed, it's terrible if you have to maintain something from before, especially as over the years they get bad as one engineer after another adds or fixes one thing or another. It's terrible for that, and those codebases and tools should have been migrated to python etc. long ago.
It is great for getting a piece of hardware working and being tested today. In the next 2 hours. Sometimes you just don't have thr time or money in the budget to write custom code for everything. Sometimes you just need to make it work and move on. Labview is great for that.
