Meh. HDL isn't that hard and there are good books on it. The main reason FPGA programming is unpopular is because the tools are pretty hideous. Icestorm makes things a lot better but it supports like 5 parts and they're not very powerful ones.

How cheap are the devkits, can I easily source <10 unit quantities for <$ouch, and what are the limitations?

- Fundamental questions I imagine a semi-interested tinkerer would be asking

devkits compatible with icestorm? I have an icestick that I've messed with, at 1x it costs $20 (at least when I bought it off amazon.)
