rz-ghidra

For integration with Ghidra decompiler there's rz-ghidra[1]. It is also bundled in the Cutter[2] releases[3]. [1] https://github.com/rizinorg/rz-ghidra [2] https://cutter.re [3] https://github.com/rizinorg/cutter/releases

If you want to harness the power of Ghidra decompiler but without the need of installing Java - Rizin[1][2] and Cutter[3][4] (Rizin's Qt GUI) integrate Ghidra's decompiler part that is written in C++ (libdecomp) as plugin - rz-ghidra[5]. We work currently on improving the integration and the quality of output.

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].

I felt the same way about Ghidra being slow and buggy sometimes but can really vouch for r2ghidra-dec[0] to integrate the decompiler into radare2[1] (and the cutter[2] qt gui). This combination feels really nice but I have to admit that I do not have any experience with IDA as a comparison.

I don't know how many people are actually using it, but I've been to more then one con that has had a talk about using it. The talks focused on showing off features and/or trying to get people to use it. From a cost perspective, Ghidra has a decompiler (That works really well), and is free. I would imagine this will help with adoption. (Most other tools like Binary Ninja don't have a decompiler, as they are hard. Here is a project that takes the Ghidra decompiler and puts it into Radare https://github.com/radareorg/r2ghidra-dec ). IDA is in a good position with all the existing documentation and tutorials, I think its just a question of how long it takes for Ghidra to get the same treatment.
