There is definitely room for all three of these projects. I don't get the NatAmi bashing, they're making steady progress.
Hats off the FPGA guys. I got a cyclone III dev kit in the mail the other day, it took me a good 12 hours to get an led to blink, lol. I really don't know what I'm doing and haven't made much progress even after reading a dozen VHDL tutorials. I've ordered a Spartan 3E dev board and a VHDL training kit, waiting for that to come in the mail.
