Their Quartus design software is great :-) compared to the problematic
Xilinx tools :-(.
The only problem I have with their current NIOS offering is that it can
be good for a few DSP like apps, but I don't see it as replacement for
let's say
a Coldfire or ARM9 with embedded MACs (a 'network processor').
When hearing the MAC isn't so good, or very constrained,
I'm glad someone else confirms this idea.
I guess the limited buffering has something todo
with souping up many M4Ks (FPGA memory cells) otherwise.
