You all surely must be aware of the only existing completely functioning FOSS FPGA toolchain, right?

and even featuring a gui app built on top of it! https://icestudio.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Check out who's behind icestorm, and compare that with who's behind symbiflow.

Last bit from tfa:

"Project IceStorm

Project IceStorm is a previous project that documented the iCE40 bit-stream format. It will become a part of SymbiFlow. SymbiFlow will support the old Yosys-ArachnePnr-IceStorm flow but will also add a Yosys-VPR-IceStorm flow."
