Re: Why I hate emulation.
One might as well say something like "There's no difference between a Toyota and a Lexus".
In fact there is, but for many people the differences aren't worth the money.
And in some cases, might not even be noticed.
Whatever makes you happy, please pursue it.
For me, I will pursue both FPGAs and software emulation, in different use cases.

Re: Why I hate emulation.
WellI wanted to delete my necro post to help this thread die, but apparently I can't. Either way, FPGA isn't magic, things like tri-state logic and asynchronous flip flops and analog circuitry cannot be recreated on a modern FPGA 1:1 anyways, so it's just a weird post with a strange and disrespectful anger toward the giants upon which FPGA-based emulators almost always stand upon.
