In YOUR opinion, what's the best rar/zip archiver?

AlZip, Winrar/zip, Izarc, and more ect. are all zip/rar archiver programs. I see that winrar and winzip are the most common programs for people to use. In MY opinion (and this program is not free 😛 ) is Power Archiver 2007. As the title said, the program is made in 2007 and in this spring. It can encode, turn files in .exe, encrypt files, extract, turn into zip/7zip (no rar...), a slim and pretty looking blue template.
I rate this program's template more prettier than Alzip.. XD Alzip has such a nice skin with a lot of features, but this one is better for me 😁
So in your opinion, or what program do you use to extract zip/rar files?

why pay when there's a free version of winrar? and you can get the full version for free too if you know how to look...

I use winrar and winzip for everday use but I also like to use a program called "Stuff It", which was originally for mac but there's also a windows version. It's extremely good IMHO. 😃

Winrar is pretty easy to use, efficient and one of the most common formats the Internet has ever developed... So why bother with anything else?
Well I just like winrar, and I don't really need any kind of weird special features. I just need to compress/decompress... (sometimes add a password) and I can do all that with winrar (even with the free version). So my choice is simple.

I full-heartedly agree. I'm as cheap as most of these people, and so I put up with the trial version's 4 -second-wait-screens, because Power Archiver handles every kind of file compression that exists (as far as I know). It is simply the best.

used to use winzip, then .rar extensions came out and it couldn't open em. So i tried winrar and then i had both. Winrar became my default since it could open .zip and.rar (i dunno about now though, this was like...6 yrs back)

I've used winzip, power archiver, etc... but i always use winrar these days... just used to it I guess. imo, a good zip/rar program isn't hard to come by these days.. i mean it's harder for one program to do it "better" than another... so i guess you just use what gets the job done for you.

IZArc for me. I like how easy it is to bulk unpack files of all types. And freeware!

I've been using Izarc for 9 months.I must say it is the simplest i've used so far, the template might not be good but i like it 🙂 It doesn't always open in the program, some zip file just open by itself, and that way i won't have to look at it everyday xDD and cool is that after you're done extracting, they pop up the window where you just extracted.

I use WinRar a lot since it's faster than my evaluation version of WinZip. Although if I were viewing manga I don't use this at all and use CDisplay. An amazing way to view all your manga archives without extracting lol ><
