The line is getting more blurry as time goes on anyway. There's some extremely flexible hardware out there these days, where most the ongoing development is writing software/firmware for the hardware. That software then programs the HW to do what you want, and so you get the speed benefits of HW with a lot of the flexibility of SW.
