Whats the use of Winrar by Rarlab if we already have 7zip opensource app. why people prefer paid app which cant even compare itself to a opensourced one. 7zip far more more better then winrar. Correct me if am wrong somewhere & i know some people who lov to use winrar will get jealous of this comment.
I use both. Sometimes winrar can extract archives better that 7zip and vice versa (ie, exe). There's no harm in having multiple tools at hand...
Hmm 7zip never let me down in any scenario. thatswhy i commented . thank you as you said theres no harm in having multi tools handy | removed my comment |

7-Zip vs WinRar has been discussed before, possibly right here in this thread. I think the people who preferred WinRar were swayed by a preference for the interface / GUI. I'm in that number myself. If I didn't have Winrar, 7-Zip would most definitely be "good enough".
I prefer WinRar for the GUI interface , to browse and search files with a specific keyword and to wiew the results quickly.
My opinion, I like 7zip way more than WinRAR. For one thing, it is free. Second, it is lightweight and UI is exactly how it needs to be, simple. Third, it can be used as an alternative to Windows Explorer, you basically get a full-blown explorer while still being able to archive/de-archive everything. When I was building WinPEs, 7zip was what I used as explorer alternate, after trying many of them, and they sucked in the PE.
