Schematic entry (4th generation) vs. VHDL/Verilog (3rd generation)

Over the past 30 years I've seen languages come and go. I started programming in assembler, and have since graduated to many 2nd and 3rd generation languages. I tend to shy away from 4th generation...

I agree that having a graphics top level file would be very good and easier to see than HDL.

Easy to see, yes. But what about a top entity port with hundred and more individual functional pins (not busses)? Do you want to place them manually? In a HDL design, you can copy them from a spreadsheet.
