This makes me hopeful that users will switch to Binary Ninja. I picked up Binja a while ago (because it’s actually affordable for an individual) & haven’t felt any need to return to IDA. There’s also Rizin which seems pretty robust from what I’ve seen (haven’t tried it myself), & of course there’s also Ghidra. IDA isn’t the only effective disassembler in town anymore.

I see people going to binja in waves. not only is it easier to acquire, but it's freaking good and intuitive to use.

they cater to the hobbiest market to, with a free version that will honestly work for soooo many things. I don't understand why people use ghidra honestly. but hey, nsa has some good pr people

Ghidra’s decompiler is far better, and it’s free.

Did they ever fix the debugger situation in Binja? Looks like it's still in beta.

I really hated using Ghidra and Binja compared to IDA as I'm a bit reliant on dynamic RE for some purposes, while IDA is able to bridge the gap between static and dynamic without the need to break out x64dbg or similar.

It's been on the dev builds enabled by default for several months now and no longer labelled beta, but we're in the middle of a release process right now so at some point soon this week the current stable will have a full debugger release (though you can try that version now if you switch to dev)
