It's kind of funny that in digital signal processing the situation is sometimes the opposite. Floating point computation is seen as easier and more accurate but much more expensive. VHDL 2008 added synthesizable reals from demand. I've been a part of fixed point DSP on a FPGA and it really made me appreciate both sides of the float/fixed coin.
