For anyone confused (as I was) rizin is a fork of radare2. I don't have anything constructive to say other than I'm confused why the project was forked.

The reasons behind the fork are described in our FAQ[1]. TLDR: we removed everything irrelevant, not working, rewrote some pieces completely, focus on maintainability, cleaner code, easier onboarding of new contributors, better code documentation (Doxygen), better API and testing.

Creating a welcoming, and not a hostile, environment was on its own a good enough reason to fork.

But also. Cutter is the first time that either Rizin or Radare has been simple enough for me, an entry level RE enthusiast, to use. So thanks.
