there's no doubt in my mind that there are and will be many limitations to my designs when writing Schematics.

Ok, good to hear you understand the tradeoffs.

Honestly, it looks like it's barely even supported.

Don't worry, you'll find features of HDL languages that are not supported in Quartus too :)

I just feel that I've put countless hours into VHDL and have gotten nowhere

Perhaps you should ask more questions when you get stuck. If you create code, a testbench, and clearly describe what you are failing to grasp, then the readers of this forum are fairly helpful. If you simply post code that will not even compile, along with too vague a question, eg., "Help, I can get this to compile", usually will not get a response, since its usually because "You're too lazy to read the error messages". If you take the time to ask an intelligent question, you will get intelligent responses.
