Considering my experience with Xilinx, the more they advertise it the harder it sucks.

Xilinx design tools are some of the buggiest pieces of software known to humankind. Altera(Intel) not far behind.
This applies to basically all electronics design tools. Insanely expensive ($5-100k per seat per year is common) and insanely buggy.

Altium, considered one of the best PCB cad tools, hard crashes for me every hour or two of design work I do.
