I am wondering how many people out there are using Xilinx chips.
The reasons I am wondering are:
1) The only real software you can buy for Xilinx chips comes from Xilinx.
2) The software stinks.
3) It is too expensive for the quality you get.

   At SRC we have had to write a number of tools (growing all the time)
to make the design environment usable for these chips. These tools
include an LCA format parser, an XNF generator, a symbolic 
debugger that works with the chips, and glue tools. But 
we keep running into the poor quality of the tools from 
Xilinx, some of which we have not replaced (yet). I keep wondering
if anyone else out there has these chips and is writing tools. Maybe
we can trade tips and techniques. Anyway if you are using these chips
and would like to discuss tools please e-mail me.
Thanks very much,
