Verilog gives you enough rope. Once the design gets past toy size, you spend time chasing sim vs synthesis mismatches because the language leaves ordering loose in places where humans read intent into source order.

VHDL's delta cycles are weird, and there's edge cases there too, but the extra ceremony works more like a childproof cap than a crown jewel.
