How about "because you can take your dev env (MyHDL/gtkwave/emacs for
me) with you"?  I'm a noob at hardware design so maybe you all do not
find this so advantageous but for me its a pain to use the WebPack ISE
GUI for Xilinx chips, Flex for Cypress, and if I ever get an Altera
device I'm going to have to learn Quartus I think?  With MyHDL I can
do all the simulation outside of the vendor GUI and so all I have to
learn to do in each vendor tool is how to click the "compile" button,
assign the pins, and program the device, instead of trying to actually
use GUIs that seem to be designed by a bunch of hardware engineers
;-).

Now I do my MyHDL programming in Linux, and then I only pop up a
Windows VM when I want to program the device.
