My company in the Fortune 20 is not going to make a move to bit windows anytime soon. I would wager that number being conservative for the engineering community. While that doesn't alleviate the need to test, the costs of testing and support are drastically reduced. Many of your competitors are choosing to build there tools on open platforms Eclipse, NetBeans, Processing, etc. Part of the issue here is your choice of technology that increases your cost. I don't necessarily get wrapped up in these OS discussions however, I wasn't satisfied with your smug answer.

I have ISE Although I presume that shouldn't come as much of a surprise More accurately, there is no 'technical reason' why the software couldn't be ported, but there is no significant market demand to justify the porting and testing costs required to support this additional platform. There has been at least one user reporting that it works under WinXP running under a virtual machine. Plus, as you move between companies, you can take your environment with you.I have not been able to find a version to Mac, so I expect is doesn't exist. I switched to use Vim because it has a very large list of plugins for almost any language I believe Emacs do also. I use VIM to write the code, and Modelsim to simulate, debug etc It seems relatively new, but so far I really like it.

Modelsim provides a good IDE but the code editor lacks the advanced features we are accustomed to use. It depends on the kind of project you are developing.

Once set up, it pretty much becomes invisible. I personally like this set up because the editor is open source and I can use it anywhere Mac, Linux, Windows. The VHDL mode is configured to use the compiler to compile the design and optionally run the simulation. If you need more help on this, let me know - it'd be fun coding a VIM plugin.

Having said all this, you might want to take a look at what Sigasi has to offer. You could actually run vcom or ncvhdl from within VIM and then see where the errors are. VIM has an extremely powerful facility to develop custom plugins, and no amount of IDE hopping will give you all the customization you would ever need. The auto-completion of components and entities is a real time-saver and you avoid a lot of errors. The Eclipse based plugin is much more than just syntax highlighting. I have been using Sigasi HDT since it was released in january I think and am very pleased with it so far. And some more powerful refactoring tools by the look of it.
