Is it me, or are the look and feel of current FPGA centric EDA tools looking really old?

The FPGA OEM tools, well some are still using the core system that they bought some 10+ years ago for their IDE.# i" l1 S* G, t, F) L
Sure the algorithms have been updated, as has QofR and runtime.. 1 ?1 C2 A/ _+ d/ G8 r3 A8 C+ B
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. |
