 From my perspective it was more of frustration, obviously
they have some nice features (would be great to see these
merged into MyHDL) but from the big picture I don't see
anything the MyHDL doesn't support: provides an interface
to the V* simulators and you can cosim with Python.

GPI?  I realize the interesting chunks are the C code (they
actually did some ugly stuff in the Python side), I will
need to put this at the end of my infinite "check-out" list
and see if their C code can be merged with MyHDLs VPI code -
at this point I don't know if it even makes sense?
