I mean having a good UI is great but without the features to back it up, you can’t do anything serious. I tried cutter again a few months ago and went back to ida after an hour of frustration. When handed a binary dump with no executable format or symbols, cutter just chokes while IDA was able to quickly find 90% of functions in memory as well as data xrefs and strings and so on.

I’m sure everything performs well on ELFs built with -O0 -g but in most real world usage, Ida is queen.

Since everything is open source, if ghidra is as good as people say it is, I’m sure people will make better guis for it (and tui) in no time.

do you mind talking a bit about how you got into the field?

Video game console hacking. Wanted to run my own code on my console back before phones and laptops were so cheap.

Pretty much all of the seriously talented reverse engineers I've met started out hacking video games as teenagers. Also, IDK if you remember me from back in the day, but hi! ^.^
