Is anybody else completely dissatisfied with this new forum?

I've been complaining as much as anyone about the new forums, so I thought I'd mention something positive. It really seems like Intel engineers are taking a greater role in the forums. I don't recall that happening in the old ones. I posted a message about a bug in 18.1 (the bad news) and they actually seem to have reproduced it, acknowledged it, and promised to fix it in a future release (the good news). That never happened, at least to me, with Xilinx.

I'll be honest; I've been actively looking at going back to Xilinx. But after using Vivado for a while, it all came back to me at just how horrid Vivado is. And the Xilinx forums have vastly more traffic, but not vastly more useful answers. I really want to stay with Altera.

If Intel would make some sort of commitment that they are not abandoning MAX 10 and Cyclone V level chips and also recognize their SoC tools are garbage, it would make that decision a whole lot easier.

It's interesting that Intel has a team of people (not sure how large) working on these forums, but when it came to their FPGA SoC tools, they decided to use unmodified off the shelf tools from ARM and U-BOOT.
