I am an IC design engineer and we use all CLI for design and verification. The most GUI we use is for signal waveform veiwing after simulation. There are the occassional gui interfaces for configurations for some tools but for code creation command line interfaces are better for us. Such editors like VI and emacs are still holding strong where I work. No one has even mentioned bringing in a IDE of any sort.
It looks like they are just reviving old technology and have mastered the challenges of the technology's downside, clock-data racing. Check out the EETimes article.
