In good state machine tools (Renoir=HDL Designer) there are no problems to
create hierarchical states etc. The graphical reprsentation of FSM is very
intuitive for human reader and it's easy to notice missing states etc.

After I really learned how to use the FSM tools I can do state machine
much faster with them and with less errors. For example SSDRAM control
state machine is quite complex, but I did the first version in one hour
and it worked quite well.
