I've found the tools clunky.  I want to see some kind of visualization
like this:

    http://www.visual6502.org/JSSim/index.html

Which produces information on runtime like this:

    http://www.visual6502.org/JSSim/expert.html

And produces some kind of output like this:

    (click the "Trace More" button many times)

-----
The reason I stopped working in Verilog was because I found it textual
and confusing.  I had intended to write my Logician tool, which would
be a Blender node-like arrangement of hardware, allowing me to sample
all data lines, and visualize it as with the 6502 visualization.

    Blender Node Editor (at 1:18 and after):
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sc-ptGft9Vk&t=1m18s

I haven't had time to do it yet, but there must be some tool closer
to that out there.  If not, that's where we should start (writing
that tool for people to use).
