For market segments where FLOSS can't penetrate, consolidation and oligopolies seem unavoidable. The costumers behave mostly favoring a winner-takes-all approach that eventually kills any competition. It took years until arduino-like tools got good enough to eat the mcu proprietary tools lunch. We're still a few years away until symbiflow does the same for fpga. But for markets where FLOSS can't penetrate, I don't see much hope.
