working comments
Been trying out for a few days now.
working conclusion,
your using eclipse as a good editor, and syntax checker, but you have not gone the extra mile to make me want to purchase you over other editors.
In particular, you don't really integrate with the FPGA tools to well ( I'll expand a little bit ).
You are device independent, which could be good.
You are a FPGA tool so lets compare you to the two big ones, and the free Altera and Xilinx tools.
I still need the vendors tools, which have a good GUI and VHDL support.
So unless I do some work in your tool , then jump out to the vendors tools, you need to support the vendors tools.
I here you cry, yes we do, yes BUT, I'd have to 'hack' / learn your configuration settings and try it out to check.
If I already have the vendors tools working well, that is a dis incentive.
At the very leasts you need to have built in out of the box support for the popular FPGA tools, and that includes the simulators, to make me interested in purchasing this.

Thanks for your
Thanks for your feedback.
Within this beta program, we focus on the features that make us unique - enabled by a transparant VHDL parser/analyzer running in the background - such as design-aware autocompletes and refactoring.
In the future, you are correct that we will have to focus more on integration with other tools, because we will not write simulation, synthesis or P&R tools ourselves. Exactly how this integration should look like is now in definition phase - suggestions and ideas are welcome.
update
In recent releases, we have direct support for some simulators and we can import projects from Xilinx and Altera. We continue to work on integrating with other tools.
