My FPGA work it depends on what I'm doing. Usually I stick with just
Xilinx's ISE using XST for synthesis. Sometimes I use Certify or
Synplify, but that's getting rarer (XST has improved many times over in
the past few years, the latest version so far hasn't presented one
problem to me).

All are available for Windows, but I find the Linux versions faster (or
at least less of an impact on the machine it's running on).

For PCB work it's all hobby type stuff, so it doesn't count, that said
my last board was done with Geda, and my next board will probably be
with Kicad.
