I think they forgot to google translate the disadvantages of JEB Decompiler

I haven't used JEB to comment, but I've gotten a lot of mileage out of https://github.com/pxb1988/dex2jar#readme and then feed the normal Java jars it produces into https://github.com/mstrobel/procyon#readme and (of course) one shouldn't overlook picking your favorite tool for dealing with AndroidManifest.xml which often has fun things hiding in it

While digging up those links, I was reminded that some folks enjoy https://github.com/Konloch/bytecode-viewer#is-there-a-demo because it can be easier to "try out" a few of the decompilation engines, but I don't use it because it's hard to do batch things with it, versus dex2jar into procyon is automation friendly
