Time to market is very important and FPGA's get you there faster.

Yeah that's great, but an ASSP with an embedded FPGA component would seem to get the customer to market with greater functionality, cheaper, and with less space in just as fast a time.

Don't you find that mildly intimidating.

It seems to me that the question boils down to who has the greater IP, and the answer is clearly not XLNX, once LSI shows that it can deliver on its FPGA embedded chip.
