Which do you use WinZip or WinRAR? Or other?

Me... I have always been a WinRAR user.

694451 2008-08-03 05:25:00 Winzip. Although I'm getting sick of their continual efforts to sell me yet more software unrelated to file compression!! johcar (6283)
694452 2008-08-03 05:29:00 Linux, in order of preference:
tar (packages.debian.org) (usually with bzip2 or gzip compression)
zip (packages.debian.org)
rar (packages.debian.org)
kio backends

Windows, in order of preference:
Filzip (http://www.filzip.com/)
7-zip (http://www.7-zip.org/)

Winzip was good once, when it was small.

694454 2008-08-03 06:00:00 I prefer neither. I use Windows' built-in support for zip files, and 7-zip for everything else. pcuser42 (130)
694455 2008-08-03 06:18:00 I use 7zip. I think power archiver is the best, but it wasn't good enough to warrant paying for once the trial expired. Greven (91)
694456 2008-08-03 06:32:00 Winzip- so easy to use beeswax34 (63)
694457 2008-08-03 08:42:00 WinRar..all the way! kiwipork (8973)
694458 2008-08-03 08:58:00 WinRar. I like the right click options on files. pine-o-cleen (2955)
694459 2008-08-03 09:25:00 WinRar..all the way!

Yep, I was converted along time ago, I find it far superior to winzip.

Although to be fair I haven't really tired any of the others.
