Imagine if AMD focused on making their tools better instead of resorting to sleazy tactics.

Imagine if the whole industry made interoperable tools that worked on open data formats and competed on merit instead of customer lock-in.

Imagine the world we could have.

We shouldn't wait for them to get their act together, as it's in the best interest of a cartel to not have competitors, compatibility, and transparency.

It should be required after a certain amount of time that schematics and code be open sourced and that anti-walled-garden measures are prevalent so we get compatibility and extensibility right out of the box.

I agree. But this will be fought tooth and nail.
