> 'visual programming' paradigm with half-baked IDEs The paradigm is the least important, when it works, I don't know anyone in real world projects that didn't have to configure something manually through a tcl script because it was either not exposed in GUI or not working in GUI. My issue is not with 'visual programming' my issue is with the 'half-baked' part of the tools. There are too many multi year old bugs that go acknowledged by Xilinx. The VHDL2008 standard came out more than a decade ago and from memory it was only in 2019 that they supported it as a valid simulation file in Vivado. There a plethora of autogenerate/copied/cached files that add a ridiculous amount of friction to any attempt of sane version control. There is just too much complexity in what I assume is an attempt to hide the shoe-horned messiness of the tcl backend and 'prettifying' the GUI frontend.
