I had been excited about the iCE40 and was planning to get a dev kit, entirely because of the toolchain. Now that they are intentionally crippling the ecosystem the community was so gracious to create for them, there is no reason to even look into their products. I already have other devices that are locked down to all hell, and im not going to invest in using a new vendor unless they can be trusted to be better at a fundamental level.
