This would have been news worthy 10 years ago. Today, it's more like shrug who cares. Dependency on IDA, closed source, limited platform support, Java/Swing

  Serious question -- can you point to a better (or at least more free) recursive, graphical debugger for Windows than IDA?

    Not sure what you mean by recursive, but OllyDbg [1] is an awesome free debugger on Windows. [1] http://www.ollydbg.de/ http://www.ollydbg.de/

      They are alluding to IDA's recursive disassembly capabilities. http://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2347/what-is-the-algorithm-used-in-recursive-traversal-disassembly http://reverseengineering.stackexchange.com/questions/2347/w... (It's worth noting the answer from Igor Skochinsky, while not the selected answer, comes from IDA's author.)

  LOL, haters gonna hate. So let's see... - BinDiff would work stand-alone if someone wrote an exporter for another disassembler (BinDiff uses https://github.com/google/binexport https://github.com/google/binexport for that). - Closed source - yeah it contains some secret sauce and also depends on a commercial graph library (yFiles). Not easily replaced. Their product is also pretty good. - Limited platform support - well, there is an older OS X version as well and we have this on our radar for future releases. - Far better free solutions - please do show. Maybe we can do a diff-off some time :) YOLO :P
