Former EDA GUI programmer here, I feel your pain! The lack of multithreaded execution can be a bitch. Worse is the lack of ways to "group" data together, I don't need full out OOP concepts like classes, methods and inheritance, just simple C structs would improve the flow of large programs a lot.

I also found a few bugs in the file selection dialog code. Someone on my team got an error during bug testing. I traced it to the file selection code built into TK and patched it there. Then I got curious, the same bugs were reproducible in ModelSim.
