I have to admit that my big hurdle isn't writing

you didn't think of that rears its ugly head when you actually try to use the thing.
Thank heavens that the stuff is RE-programmable...
Absolutely. I wish our customers understood that writing proper
testbenches should take as long as implementation. Instead, we
often get MAYBE a quarter of the time, and then they complain
when the resulting FPGA is buggy.
Let's not talk about how much time they like to allocate for
documentation.
