Is it that much better than "emacs VHDL mode" ?
So far I could not found a better editor for VHDL. It simply rocks, I love it's "copy... paste as" capabilities.

It really is that much better :)
It differs from other development tools in that it contains an
ultra-fast vhdl parser and compiler that
runs transparently in the background. At any given moment as you make modifications, the tool fully understands the design in terms of VHDL concepts. This technology makes it possible to support a wide range of powerful features: Intelligent navigation, instant error reporting, intelligent code completion, quickfixes, Refactoring, automatic updating of makefiles,...
The intelligent auto-complete makes the "paste as obsolete" detour obsolete. With Sigasi HDT you can instantiate components with a single key stroke (Ctrl-Space) without having to copy anything first.
Because it is an Eclipse plugin, you can combine it with other Eclipse plugins: version control support, bug tracker, ... This result in an extremely powerful and extensible development environment.
I invite you to experience it yourself:
