Is it me, or are the look and feel of current FPGA centric EDA tools looking really old?
- m6 h+ \6 S9 q# I1 HSynplify looked new and refreshing 10 years ago.. Precision was great 4 years ago... Has Aldec or Modelsim changed at all in look and feel in the last 8-10 years? The FPGA OEM tools, well some are still using the core system that they bought some 10+ years ago for their IDE.

Why is it that EDA always puts look and feel so far behind everything else?

When Protel 99 became Altium 2004, I spent some time to familialize myself with the new IDE, but soon found that except for some new functions added the fundamental place and route tool are the same. |
