I agree, ISIM is OKish but no comparison to Modelsim which is light-years ahead
IMHO.

This announcement doesn't come as a surprise, the rumours have been circulating
for months......

Lets hope Mentor comes up with a good deal to upgrade to PE or better DE!

It is my understanding that Xilinx is planning some major improvements
to ISIM. I
hope that they continue to support ModelSim as an integrated piece of
the
environment even if you need to purchase it separately. It would be a
mess
if you needed to compile the libraries without script support, for
example.

I've been using Veritak to do my (Verilog) FPGA sims for quite a while
now.I'm quite happy
with it and the developer is quite responsive to bug reports &
suggestions. The price is
extremely reasonable.

Xilinx drops Modelsim XE and at about the same time Altera drops
Quartus ISIM leaving Modelsim AE as the only supported optin for low-
cost simulation.
WOW! X&A twins don't follow steps of each other. Doesn't happen very
often.
