The sore point of FPGA development is that not only the tooling is beyond terrible, it's also effectively a strong lock in. Changing designs is all but easy, even IF your design is not tied to specific hard fabric on the FPGA.

So you got terrible tooling and then a lock in into that tooling.

Not very appealing. Why the f--- would anyone use FPGA's unless they're the only option?
