i have a hw friend who grooves to the niosi dev environment, but the nios2 ide might as well be straight from the alien spacecraft. personally, i'm a software guy and prefer the new ide, but until altera gets real about code size and fixes a truckload of teething bugs, i'm sticking with niosi as well. --- Quote End ---
KenLand,
You state that Altera need to "get real about code size". The new software scales to the same size as the old SDK, have you tried the recommendations in the Reducing Code Footprint section of the Software Developers Handbook?
It was a conscious decision to provide full featured systems by default, but if code size is your main focus the code scales down.
