Not in the same category, IDA is really good.
However, Ghidra is:
a) free
b) good enough for many thing
One downside: the UI is convoluted.
- bri3d 5y agoThis is interesting to me - I feel as though both GUIs are an acquired taste and now that I've spent enough time in Ghidra, I find IDA annoying sometimes. I agree that IDA is head-and-shoulders better for Windows, especially Microsoft-compiler built software, but I'm not sure Ghidra isn't in the same category, especially for embedded. I find myself much more productive in Ghidra than IDA for embedded tasks.
