I recommend Mentor's Modelsim. It is the best.

Should one buy the whole ModelSim tool for the sake of its editor ?

I've switched from UltraEdit to notepad++ lately.

I used to use emacs, but I eventually found that the VHDL/Verilog modes got in the way, and I also found it became a hassle to configure how tabs were handled. I'd rather do all the indentation myself (ie: relpace tab with spaces, with tab width of 4)

i think the modelsim se/pe supports all the HDLs like vhdl,verilog,systemC and system also.

VIM is great if you could get syntax highlighting to work

I dont know much abt Emacs... NEDIT is nothing but a notepad in Windows... As per my knowledge GVIM is the best..

Yeah.. EMACS is no.1 Smile


No matter how... Once u get used to it, you can write coding rapidly. I vote it no.1 in EDA editor.

A\ltera qu(at)rtus-II 7.2sp1's integrated editor is also pretty good -- automatic collapsing/uncollapsing of modules!

I have 2 years of VIM experience in Verilog design.
But when I met with EMACS with verilog-mode, I changed to emacs since then. Emacs gives me the most flexibility in edit. and verilog-mode save me so much time in verilog hierarchy instantiations.

But I confess that, emacs is more difficult than anything else. the learning curve is comparatively long.
If you have solid programing background especially functional programing basis. I suggest emacs with verilog-mode. Otherwise, use vim or else.

emacs with verilog mode, the auto complete is very good. Not try VHDL/SystemVerilog.

Emacs is too difficult, and VI is too ugly, and Gvim is a stupid thing in Windows...


Please don't make such comments unless you know what is it.
Learning emacs is like learning to drive a car, hard to learn but
becomes as easy as reflexes once you know how to do it.
The features of emacs.. They are incomparable with other..
I'll post a new topic on some useful tricks of emacs for vlsi
engineers that i learned from my experience.

There is a nice book from o-reilly "GNU emacs" in nutshell series..
However it does have much info about VHDL or verilog mode.
below are some references you can use....
but if you really want to learn emacs the best way is use it often.
Well there is another editor i found good..."Simplifide"
which is a eclipse bases plug in.
Its still in development but still quit useful.
