The zooming feature in LabVIEW was way past due, particularly with the advent of 4k displays (and the rapid degradation of my sight!), but was implemented very poorly. As mentioned in other idea exchanges, the font size handling is awful, and regardless does not address the ancient-looking pixelated block diagram interface. Also the zoom resolution has too many steps for how drastically the view contorts with each step.
The entire system should be overhauled as vector-based so it looks crisp at any zoom level and zooms smoothly between zoom levels. The shining light example of smooth-zooming is Miro which handles text sizes and detail-loading even better than Google Maps.
I am really looking forward to not squinting at pixels, and LabVIEW is literally the last offender I work with.
