https://rada.re/r/cmp.html Radare, in my opinion, is mostly lacking on the user-experience sides. IDA is easier to pick-up and use. Also, I feel Radare's decompilers don't fare as-well as Hex-Rays. I equate this to Windbg - your best Windows debugger, which unfortunately is relatively tough to pick up (I'd argue, mostly due to poor UI choices). Forgoing that, Radare is absolutely packing. I've moved on to reverse mos…

The thing that r2 is lacking is a good decompiler. IDAs decompiler really helps a lot if you are reversing a big binary with many structs.

I've been watching the ecosystem of radare2 GUIs for a while now. I've loved IDA for its long-standing support of numerous architectures, as well as its built-in interpreter for running Python/IDC scripts with ease, however the price is nearly inhibitive for the average student or weekend hacker. IMO, the one major reason that radare isn't as widely adopted in the RE industry is simply because of a lack of GUIs that…

> In many ways, the radare2 plugin architecture is far superior to IDAs, and I hope this project can start to bridge the gap between functionality and ease-of-use. I think one of the most difficult things for me with r2 is that there is no stable API and minimal detection for the internal stuff. If you're merely working on top of well supported architectures (e.g. arm, x86) you're probably going to do just fine with…
