Any thoughts on why I would choose Rizin over Ghidra?
Personally, were cost not an issue, I would just stick with IDA. However, IDA Pro is obscenely expensive, with the cheapest version "only" $365/yr and a full version costing into the tens of thousands, and it's not clear to me that the cost is worth it. I've had a lot of paper-cuts with Ghidra, but it still feels far better to me than radare2.
Ghidra is a more all in one solution when you are doing more in depth vulnerability analysis. We used to use it back at my previous job when it was still proprietary and provided to subcontractors only to run in SCIFs, and it generally is better if you are looking for vulnerabilities.
I actually work on compilers, so training myself on reverse engineering isn't totally useless, especially since a lot of what I like is about the pattern recognition of more advanced compiler features. And if you're trying to retrofit high-level optimizations in a low-level backend, reverse engineering the high-level structures is exactly what you need.
