NXG 5.0 - first impressions...

NO LINX?!?  It is bad!

I work at as a test developer at an electronics factory. We use Labview classic extensively, but always through TestStand. It seems to me, NXG is great for stand-alone use, but does anybody have any comment on whether it's worth going over to NXG for TestStand use?

IMO, it's not ready for prime time.

It's not "bad", but it is missing functionality.  It's not ready for prime time, but the direction it is headed in is a good one.

I agree with billko, it's not ready. As we know, there is a way to call NXG code modules from TestStand.

TestStand 2019 Early Access Support for LabVIEW NXG - TestStand 2019 Help - National Instruments 

But it's not ready. I guess our requirements are not satisfied yet.

Because NXG is not ready for primary use, there is no worth to work with NXG and TestStand.
