While I agree with some of your points about corporate data practices and the potential for technology to deskill labor, I'm not sure I see the direct connection with Clippy. Clippy, as limited as it was, seems like a poor example of these larger concerns.

Furthermore, saying "techies really lose perspective" comes across as dismissive and judgmental. It's important to remember that people are drawn to technology for various reasons, and many are deeply concerned about the ethical implications of what they build. Painting an entire group as lacking awareness isn't helpful or accurate.

If we want to have a productive conversation about the impact of technology, we need to avoid generalizations and engage with each other respectfully, even when we disagree.

What QIRA is to GDB is what IDA is to objdump. The goal is to dramatically increase debugging productivity using a modern UI.

That message is outdated, the trunk build is superior ATM. (I removed the message.)

I work on the project and until geohot's recent talk this tool was used (afaict) by a small segment of the CTF community and so we were more focused on core development issues. We can appreciate the desire to have a cleaner and safer install experience, so we'll make sure to take a look at that. Hopefully you can reserve your judgment until it's addressed.
