It’s fascinating to me that people prefer shitty nagware over 7-zip only because they think they’re “getting one over” by not paying for inferior software and/or feel nostalgic for it.
I feel nostalgic for WinRAR and I don’t need or want the fucking bag. Fucking.rar was the first file extension I remember learning at like 6yo that wasn’t something dumb like .txt .jpg .doc .ppt .exe
I bought it because 7-zip was shit back then so yeah ill stick with WinRar
I hate having to find my key when I get a new computer. I know there are alternatives but I paid for it, I want it.
Back when?
For a good while, the UI in 7-Zip was so atrocious merely extracting an existing archive was not obvious. It definitely improved over that.
I’d argue that even today, WinRAR UI is more intuitive than 7-Zip, but it is largely irrelevant since both have decent integration with windows file explorer anyway, which was also something 7-Zip lacked for a while.
Probably 10-15 years ago or something
Does 7-zip have a bag though?
If it did I might consider buying it.
Didn’t 7-zip have a vulnerability a while back?

The perfect software doesn’t exist. That is to say, if you need something big free, use nothing.
The one that was patched back in September? Yes

Yep Windows only. Just trying to give those users better tools until they finally get the idea to switch to Linux
