.rar is not a common format unless the user is a software pirate on Windows.  :D

That's something of a stretch.

When it should have been a shrink.

Tuxman:
Non-pirates seldomly need .rar support.

Bamse:
True, zip all the way. And with the right attitude that will never change, WinZip is also cool. How come pirates have always been more open to alternatives? I put money on better compression ratios. Why was ARJ popular in the old days? Again compression ratios. So if there is a desire to find something better look for a program which is excellent in compressing, focus - later worry about missing features, GUI, pretty icons, what your friends will think, how likely it is to become a universal std. There are not many to choose from or much reason to love 7Zip. Pretty sure none are useful if FreeArc is out of the question because planned fixes are not yet implemented, unheard of! Those long lists at benchmarks sites just looks impressive but check out details, if there are any. Having same standards towards them as you do Winrar or even 7Zip will dismiss most of them very fast.
