I've used EDA tools (both board design and chip design) for over 30 years, and in that time there's been one constant: what the designers want to accomplish is usually at (or beyond) the limit of what the tools and platforms are capable of. So yes the tools are "shitty" for what we want to accomplish tomorrow. They're superb compared to what we had yesteryear.

You might not like my "sloppy" choice of words. But IMO the difference between good engineers and mediocre ones is exactly what you called a "keen eye for detail".

I agree the tools could be, and should be, a lot better. It's a copout by the tool vendors when they produce "thousands of warning and info messages". And yet the good engineer must wade through those messages. That is part of the necessary "get on with it" attitude.
