Professional tools are judged by such metrics. Manufacturers put tremendous effort into onboarding neophytes because they know whichever stack of tools get the job done with the lowest cost labor will grab a lot of market. The old heads that can write Verilog from memory are trapped in zoom meetings dealing with 'managers.'
Sadly this frequently manifests as huge, Eclipse based bloatware with byzantine installation processes and comical fragility. Precious few understand the value of lightweight, robust tools and confuse elaborate graphical wizards and code generators with quality.

Typically you just use the tool the vendor provides. Vivado if you're using Xilinx. Quartus if you're using Altera. I agree that the tools are bloated monstrosities whichever one you're using.
