Yes. Although, the fact that you have to write your model's driver in C++ is a turn-off for the career HDL engineers. I'm using it to model some DSP accelerators of algorithms that were originally developed in C. So I find the ability to easily run comparison tests side-by-side against the C model to be the best part. The Verilator linter is also pretty good. HDL that can pass the Verilator linter almost has a VHDL-like accent to it.
