BN is nice if someone is paying for it, but has too many limitations especially for the most common use case which is security.

The Linux free trial version is a 400MB .zip file including a 255.2MB "binaryninja" shared binary

Wow, they made it free. The last time I used it I bought a $100 subscription for non commercial use.

Yep, it's cheaper than IDA and I like the UI better. Also I love that it's made by game hacking folks (my clique).

Binary Ninja seems way ahead in terms of UX, as a hobby reverser. It's my default as well.

In particularly I like their approach of creating modern IR pipeline.
