Well, all jokes aside, as someone that actually designs industrial robotics, this is a welcome step. As it is now, I have to basically know 10 different programming languages. They may be all similar, but the differences are enough to make you scratch your head on why something isn't working, until you realized you used a command from another manufacturer�s command set.

Having a single, unified, environment to program, regardless of hardware, makes life much easier for those in this field of work.

And, while you may hate Microsoft, try using one-off type software designed by a company that is not really a software company! And paying $3,000 to $5,000 per copy. My company can routinely pay over $50,000 a year on software and upgrades, just to have the privilege of using THEIR hardware.
