Note, there is a free and open-source alternative for both the console world and GUI one - radare2[1] + Cutter[2] combo. Both are native and highly portable, no Java inside. And they support various decompilers, including Ghidra'one[3] and Retdec[4].

Another +1 for Cutter from me, it's absolutely brilliant. $365 per year is still prohibitive for most hobbyist/home use. I was hoping it'd be $100 one-off, or $60 per major release + 2 years of updates, or something like that. That should allow them to regain some popularity with hobbyists, whilst still making the bulk of their money from the BigCorps paying $$$ for a commercial license.

Any news on debugger integration with Cutter? The combination of working decompiler and stable debugger would get me to switch for sure.

  Debugger works already. There is a room for improvement, but basic features are here already.

    Hm, I think I tried it once and it just crashed immediately on a simple binary. Is this r2's debugger or gdb/lldb?

      It's r2 debugger that supports native mode for all platforms, remote gdb/lldb, remote WinDbg, and a few more exotic options. Both Cutter and radare2 are developed with quite a pace, if you meet any bug - reach us and we'll try to fix it as soon as possible. This year we were accepted into Google Summer of Code 2020, and students will work on a few interesting projects [1].
