Nice start.

In my old company, we used FPGA's to replace obsolete components that were no longer available for legacy equipment.

Once you have the interface and logic down, you can replace a lot of discrete circuitry with a single FPGA.

FWIW, here's my quick answer as to why prople might want to learn about designing FPGAs:

Have you ever wanted a custom digital chip for a project, but didn't have $1 million lying around to pay for fabricating it? Well, an FPGA lets you do it for tens of dollars.
