What about filling an issue or sharing a reproducer oneline? this sounds like a 1 line fix. And probably related to capstone, not directly r2. There are other disassembler and analysis plugins for powerpc in r2land…

First impressions matter. The problem is r2 has a terrible track record of first impressions with me and most of the people I trust who have tried to use it...

You are using Cutter here, not r2 and I can’t reproduce the bug you are mentioning. You are talking like if IDA never had bugs. I started r2 bc of this “first impressions matter”, never get used or liked privative software, graphical interfaces and IDA never fit in my workflow

I thought Cutter was a radare2 GUI (you know, like the GitHub description says).

Yes it is, but don’t expect it to be as updated, as tested or as complete as r2 itself. But seems to do the job for most kiddies and newcomers. Give me the bytes of that BL at least and i’ll try to reproduce and fix that line.

And maybe if you didn't insinuate GUI users are "kiddies and newcomers" you'd have more users. It's fine to like text apps, but don't expect people to take you seriously if you mock other users' preferences.

I’m not really worried to have more users in r2land. Maybe more devs will be great, because right now the community of r2 is way bigger than any other RE tool out there. About prefs, anyone is free to use whatever they want, but no single GUI can be as powerful as an API or CLI
