Ground-up rewrite of NI-MAX so that it is actually usable

[TurboPhil]

How is NI-MAX still so bad after all these years? It goes completely unresponsive and crashes at the slightest provocation. This feels like it should be NI's bread-and-butter.

Every LabVIEW team ends up recreating so much of the functionality that NI-MAX is supposed to offer out of the box. Maybe with the discontinuation of NXG, some resources should be allocated to making this product usable.

KB articles like this and this probably shouldn't need to exist.

I partly agree.

A few more features were also great.

• Better renaming
• Copy/paste channels and Tasks and whole systems

Just from the top of my head.

I do know NI is looking to replace MAX.  Last I was aware (it's been at least a year), NI is looking to move functionality from MAX to Instrument Studio.
