You are absolutely right and I should have been clearer on my first reply.

Most of my contact with LabView code was built by people that had no professional training on it. They use it to automate "simple" scientific experiments and create visualization dashboard, since they're mostly self-taught their software needs a re-write every 3 years. Again I believe you are right, that is mostly due to the programmer not being knowledgeable about the language itself.

Regarding the syntax, most of the LabView code I've seen was built by people with the aforementioned knowledge of the language, so It is possible that I've never seen good LabView code. But I never liked the looping and conditionals.
