In case you're bored... It's not too hard. Only didn't see one or two before.

I didn't know most of the certification ones. Also, a lot has multiple meanings, like IDE and DOS.

True. It seems they took the historical meanings rather than newer ones. Heck, if I say IDE at work, no one here really thinks of an integrated development environment. There's no such thing for hardware engineers really.

Cadence?

Where's their integrated environment for Verilog?

Yeah, if you're doing custom IC design, sure, they've got that. Novas' Verdi is ok for verilog and has integrated linting and code tracing and variable hyperlinks. There's no integrated support for revision control systems or other possible extensions like a test planner/runner. Heck, people are being pretty slow in picking up system verilog constructs, especially class based testbench design which at its core is looking more and more like XUnit all the time except for the fact that people don't seem to understand the concept of unit testing. Everyone wants system level tests only.
