For specifying state machines, there was a tool that was better than anything I've used to date. On the language side, we had Verilog-95 extensions that are still unmatched in SVerilog today, a simulator that had better throughput than anything you could buy until maybe 2015 or so (an ancient re-implementation of a DEC simulator), a synthesis alternative that was deterministic and was instantaneous and was probably superior on power/area/speed product until ~2005 and competitive until ~2010, etc
