Yep. It's a FOSS-quality disassembler; good if you don't have IDA (I wish), supports maybe 10% of what IDA does in total but has some other niceities that it doesn't (think: disassembler-equivalent of LLVM). (Ideally, you'd have both.) For those who don't know, IDA disassembles basically every unclassified, commercially-available architecture and executable/library/object container format (think: disassembler-equivalent of GCC if it were an IBM or Green Hills product -:P). It also has a built-in scripting API in Python(?), IIRC.

An interesting semi-abandonware static disassembler that was really good is Sourcer 8.01 from V-Communications. I think it supports Pentium II/Pro/III at most, which would include real, protected mode and long mode DOS/DOS extended/Win16/Win32 EXEs and COMs IIRC. It did a lot of memory typing and clever analysis long before IDA existed, and still interesting for retro computing.

You might be interested in this talk from the creator of IDA, Ilfak Guilfanov, explaining how he used Sourcer and it's shortcomings lead directly to him creating IDA.

It's way better than IDA Pro. I have used the Pro version with the Hex-Rays decompiler. Ghidra is legitimately better. I wouldn't recommend IDA to anyone at this point because I don't see it having much of a future (sorry not sorry).

It's worth learning the Ghidra Scripting API because you can write ad-hoc scripts with Jython syntax to automate tasks/do custom analysis.

I was using ghidra for one of my uhh research projects earlier and I actually found the decompiler from hex rays still does better in some cases. In ghidra sometimes it times out and fails to decompile. Maybe I'm not using it correctly? I haven't begun exploring what kind of plug-ins and stuff it has, maybe that helps?

For me ghidra is better with c++ disassembling than hex ray, but hex ray is better with c style assemblies

Thanks to the better RTTI Analyzer

It depends massively on platform, architecture, and programming language. Hex-Rays is probably still ideal for embedded and obscure platforms. Ghidra's decompiler seems optimized for ARM and amd64 userland consumer-level stuff that the NSA was most interested in hacking.
