I used to think EDA tools for FPGAs were the absolute worst development environment, until I wanted to modify an open-source application on my phone, and tried to install and run Android Studio. It manages to out bloat both Vivado and Quartus. At least I wouldn't need to buy a special computer to run it, like the Xcode development environment for iOS.

I've ended up using Yosys from a command line, while editing the files in a text editor.

Ha! I've worked with all of those and can't even tell you how much I agree. I think I'd also add Visual Studio to the list; recently I switched to command line compilation and editing code in VSCode and do not miss Visual Studio, not even one bit of it.
