FPGAs are indeed pretty good for low-quantity designs, but FPGA
manufacturers need to get a clue. The bit-level format is closed,
locking you into a single place-and-route tool (the only exception
I'm aware of is some Xilinx 6xxx? part), and synthesis tools remain
expensive (though some are free or nearly so for sub-10k-gate).

There's an open-source EDA (electronic design automation) initiative,
the name of which I've forgotten, that looked pretty promising
for simulation at least.
