* g, l1 j) E0 W6 vSynplify looked new and refreshing 10 years ago.. Precision was great 4 years ago...  Has Aldec or Modelsim changed at all in look and feel in the last 8-10 years?  The FPGA OEM tools, well some are still using the core system that they bought some 10+ years ago for their IDE.

Why is it that EDA always puts look and feel so far behind everything else?

always, a new look and feel with the same function under the tool button makes me feel fooled. When Protel 99 became Altium 2004, I spent some time to familialize myself with the new IDE, but soon found that except for some new functions added the fundamental place and route tool are the same.
