A lot of people believe that the year of the "maker FPGA" is upon us, and that the only thing holding it back is bad vendor tooling, so there's a lot of HN posts about them as of late. The vendor tooling is bad, but more than anything, the use case just isn't there. Given, this is just my opinion on the matter, so take it with a grain of salt.
