As I mainly reverse automative hardware, I care about only Tricore, C167, SuperH, and PowerPC, in that order - which means Binary Ninja is out for me for the time being!

Thanks for the post though, as I did look into adding a new Architecture and the setup for defining a new ISA is much simpler than it is in even Ghidra/SLEIGH, so kudos to that. Maybe if I find myself with a lot of free time I will try adding something.

Totally fair -- breadth of architecture support is definitely one of the biggest strengths of Ghidra! IDA does as well but purely for disassembly which isn't nearly as useful.

EDIT: But yeah, we designed our lifting to be as simple as possible. Specifically the way we handle flags tends to simplify much of the normal tedium around what's required for other decompilers. If you do decide to build a C167 module, give us a look again. :-)
