[FPGA work]
I have bitter memories of compiles that took all
night, and which had
totally mangled my circuit so I then had to spend a day or so sorting
out the mess. And then repeating when I needed to make some small
change. No thanks...
I have to admit that I never worked with FPGAs. I work for a
company
that is producing an embedded product that is based on a StrongARM and
has also a FPGA inside. I can't remember that one of our hardware
developers ever complained that hard about the FPGA programming
software. But maybe the tools they use are very different from yours.
AFAIK they use some shematic capturing to design the FPGA, no VHDL or
the like.
