I did hardware design in 1983-1989, software design 1980-now (Linux kernel development, GCC compiler design, amongst other things); so forgive my ignorance (and surprise) as I parachuted into FPGA design since June 2010 only to find that the hardware design world seems to have evolved in dubious ways in the past 21 years (given the progress that I've been part of in the software world).
