Hmm.. maybe those are hardware/EE guys? I always get told that nobody else tries to use highlevel-constructs like I do (and using VHDL, maybe support for that is a bit worse). > Language support is a sore spot in the current release, but it's being > worked on.

Note that ModelSim is not available here for the mere Students (well, at least not by default) so I am using ISE's own simulator (maybe I should note here, this is really a nice feature, for a beginner at least it is much more comfortable to use than ModelSim).
