I had the misfortune of working with the Xilinx Vivado environment, it's a fucking garbage, the software is straight out of the 90s, everything is glued together with shell scripts and the TCL scripting language, the IDE throws thousands of warnings and errors while building a sample project, the documentation is missing or spread over 150 PDFs, if the manufacturer of your evaluation board prepared an example for the previous version of Vivado, you must have two installations, which is probably about 2 * 100GB, if you want to keep anything under version control, you have to use some external tools, it's all absurd.
