Think Toyota users might resent this?
The thousand current users probably won't be happy. But the hundred thousand users after that, and all future users, will think it's a great idea.
Read my post again. I said that after 40 years, Toyota changes its acceleration method to requiring still using the "wrong" pedal and adding a left stalk button press. You think new users would love pressing both the "wrong" pedal and having to press a stalk button during acceleration? Really?
You think that the hypothetical Toyota after 40 years in business would have had a 1,000 user user-base? Real Toyota was selling 2.5 million cars a year by 1990, having entered the US market in 1967.
But this is an analogy so, getting back to LabVIEW... Its implementation of Zoom is misaligned with programming in LabVIEW as the graphical design isn't SVG but rather is tied to the locations of terminals so zooming is useless and ugly. There's nothing to be gained by zooming out, or in either. In LV, as you know, we "zoom in" by creating subVIs, so graphically zooming in adds no value. Zooming out is useless too as the zoom results in unreadably tiny subVIs and jumbled together wires. The only people for whom zooming adds any value are people who don't know how to program in LV yet, and the right answer is that they learn how to program in LV.
