A lot. Robolab uses LabView, a very popular graphical programming
interface. I heard somewhere that one of the new global satellite networks
was programmed using it. It's very full featured and you should be able to
use it to do anything the RCX firmware is capable of doing.
The RIS/GUI software, on the other hand, was created for Lego and aimed at
children. It's fairly good, although somewhat more confusing than necessary
at some points. And it's not very powerful -- no way to do variables, or
nested loops.
