This is highly dependent upon how often you use the tool.
If I do an FPGA project once every two years and the scope is less than 3 months, user-friendliness is very much a useful metric for my tools.
If I'm doing an FPGA project that is going to take 15 months, then lack of user-friendliness certainly won't stop me (but it will make me grouchy).
