    Yeah I thought everyone used that. Why bother with Winrar?

    I think it’s mostly out of spite.

    Literally the only reason WinRAR had ever been used is because people either didn't know about 7zip, or their parents dropped them on their heads causing them to "prefer WinRAR" 🤮

    I've always used 7zip but whenever I help a friend with tech stuff and they have winrar I find that its ui is better for browsing archives without extracting it (from what I remember, I haven't used windows 7zip for a year now and on linux I just use ark)

    7zip's UI is fine, it's just basic and doesn't look as nice, but why would it need to? It's UI definitely doesn't make it difficult to use.

    7zip is not only free, but it doesn't ask you for money at all, it just works, and it supports extracting RAR files as well. It is true that WinRAR technically USED to be better, when 7zip was still fairly new, but literally the only reason anyone still prefers it today is nostalgia.
