Yes i have read through it.

After using myhdl for some time now i really would not want to switch back  
to vhdl or systemC or systemVerilog.
I think the reason is that when i write in myhdl i have to remember way  
less syntax and function calls with parameters (like with which types can  
i use with to_unsigned(..) function,is a bitwidth needed?, or how to use  
the shift_left(..) function, which types does the function needs,etc..)
So i actually can write hardware code without visiting "google" and or  
different manuals every once and a while.

I think there is a tendency not to switch back once one really got started  
with myhdl. Is this only my impression?
