Understood. I actually use the Icarus Verilog bugs database to
get an idea where people's priorities are and it helps me not
get too detached from the real world. Besides that, I also have
things like standards documents to guide me.

GUI tools like PCB and gschem et al have it much harder because
they exist for usability, yet usability issues fall from the
minds of those who use it regularly (and learn how to work with
it.) I know it happens to me in my day job.
