I use Ada off-spring VHDL very regularly.
I prefer it over Verilog, but I do it due to semantics and mostly
despite [inherited from Ada] syntax.

I don't like case-insensitivity, except, may be, for keywords.
I don't like begin..end.
Most of all, I don't like nested procedures that have visibility of
local variables of the parent (That's related to Ada, not significant
in context of VHDL).
I suppose, I don't like most of the thing that you like about
programming languages.
