In many ways, all of the predictions made at the time in replies to articles like this have come true. Everyone is spying on us constantly; legitimate end-users are absolutely peeved off / made to suffer SaaS and activation crap, and the pirates do just continue exactly as before (albeit with a nice, NSA-provided open-source RE environment to play in...)

Absolute game changer for reverse engineering. It was like leveling up three levels instantly.

I still feel more productive in IDA, but getting to that point was for sure a slog that I wouldn't wish on anyone learning RE anymore.

IDA is a godsend compared to when I first started in RE'ing... using SoftIce (DOS) in the early- to mid-90s!

Oh man... +ORC, +Fravia, +HCU, it really was a simpler time back then!
