Need a Win32 disassembler

I'm working through a textbook on malware analysis, and am looking for a Win32 disassembler. Preferably something small, free, and CLI based. objdump (from MinGW) unfortunately doesn't cut it; it can't resolve imported function names.

The book recommends the freeware version of IDA, which I've also tried. It's very featureful, but the GUI is horrible for a novice; if possible I'd prefer to use something simpler to use while learning the ropes.

Any recommendations from those among us who do this stuff professionally?

 

Okay, never mind for now; I just figured out how to make Ida dump to an asm file, which is pretty much what I want.
