When you say a thing to the effect of "it's not a real computer because FPGA" I immediately lose interest in your opinions. That's just asinine. That's like saying "it's not a real computer because it uses a PLA".
We use the chips that are available.

that ship has sailed and an FPGA is a perfectly reasonable solution for this sort of thing
