Brief comment on the user interface.
Modelsim has by far the most complex interface IMHO. However,
all of the other tools come with very powerful user interfaces as
well. Only problem is that they are less known and less used. I find
myself using the simulators mostly in regression and debugging
runs. Both times I prefer to use Makefiles or Perl scripts to drive
my work. The only time I need a "user interface" is when I'm doing
debugging and need to look at waveforms. Cadence provides
SignalScan which one th better tools I have ever used for
debugging. Other interface shells (similar to Modelsim) are also
provided but I personally prefer the command line interface - I
feel my productivity is much higher that way.
