wxHexEditor — a Free Hex Editor / Disk Editor for Huge Files or Devices
A good replacement is ImHex (https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex). Which does the job really well.

Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition?
ImHex
“A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM.”
I actually used it not too long ago to inspect why a mp4 file wasn’t valid. The pattern language that they have is quite nice and having sections of the hex highlighted and being able to see what structures they represent and what data was on those structures was very useful!

Spectrum Analyser, a Sinclair ZX Spectrum reverse engineering tool
Just one note: Please use UI scaling; it's near impossible to read on a 150% 4k screen (much less on 100%). Unfortunately, young eyes don't last forever.
The UI looks very much like ImHex (https://imhex.werwolv.net/) is this a coincidence, or is it the standard ImGui look and feel?
I wish ImHex had a decompiler for Z80 as well, but this is much better.

Immediate Mode GUI Programming
I didn't use RemedyBG or Tracy, but I did try ImHex (https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex) and it loaded 12% of the CPU because everything is being repainted 60 times per second. Heck, it even has an option to limit the FPS, which solves the CPU load a bit, but at the same time results in sluggish input because the event handling is tied to the drawing frequency.
So yes, the experience was not good, and I don't see what these tools would lose by using a proper GUI. I don't want every utility to drain my laptop battery like a decent video game.
ImGui is great if you already have a loop where everything is unconditionally redrawn every frame, but otherwise it's a really odd choice for an end-user application.

The Hiew Hex Editor
I now use ImHex after looking for years for a good one. It has a pattern language to provide highlighting.

[Tutorial] How to manually change FOV (SoC, CS, & CoP)
Download a hex editor such as ImHex and open it. I'd recommend downloading the portable version of whatever hex editor you are using if it's offered. That way you don't have to install the program and can instantly delete it off your drive when you're done.

Visual IDE research feedback
"It seems from reading the post that the scope of the project is already way too large. This a decades-long project (for a single dev). But most (maybe all) of what's being offered already exists." My googling shows them existing as singular (or a few) features but not in a cohesive package; the "closest" one I could find is https://github.com/WerWolv/ImHex.

GitHub - WerWolv/ImHex: 🔍 A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM.
I tried opening a Windows .exe (PE binary) myself and I didn't get any colors or other nice decoding of the binary. After a little searching I found the ImHex patterns repo and download the patterns and manually loaded them. This gave me nice coloring of header. When opening the disassembler view, I had to type in the addresses of the assembly code manually. I had a look at the contents of the pattern file and it doesn't look like it specifies which sections are assembly code. Which I think would be a killer feature for reverse engineering.
