Boomerang-shaped desk with two monitors: one large, one small. The large monitor shares space with Windows apps and the VNC to my Linux session. On my Linux fvwm2 desktop I primarily use konsole to tab around different xterms, and gvim + NerdTree to edit my RTL source code.

Almost every hardware designer I know uses vim. I guess we're not very lispy.

Well, I'm using SciTE for VHDL coding (on Windows). Armed with a snippets plugin and connected to multiple Python scripts it's quite a beast.
