Why obfuscate your code
The goal of obfuscation is to make reverse engineering and/or cloning your application more complicated.
Ideally, it should make cost of reverse engineering your application comparable to cost of
developing similar application from scratch, thus making stealing your code and cloning your application worthless.
As an additional benefit, obfuscation can make size of your binary files smaller and performance slightly higher.
