I'm so happy to read ratings of Xilinx here. I'm a novice to the world of FPGA, and I've spent so much time fighting the tools.
My very favorite issue is with their IDE. The version I'm using has a broken search and replace... if the two strings have different lengths, the editor loses its place after the first replacement -- they compute the location of matches and then just smash the replacement strings in... failing to maintain an offset as character offsets change. Makes me scream.
