Much like everyone else, I chose a and e. I personally would like to claim d, but when I first started working where I work now 6.5 years ago there was a great deal desire for me to use LabView. After three weeks of training a few weeks of fiddling with LabView, I determined Builder was the only way to go for sophisticated bench automation with a *strong* database backbone. I claim d for myself, because I know what is best for what I do and I consider Builder a requirement for my job.
Builder has always lacked flash in favor of a solid Win32 foundation. If I wanted flashy looking code that created more work for the bench technician, lacked useful support for databases, and was a pain to program and maintain, I would have chosen LabView. Instead I chose Builder and have never regretted it.
