People still use WinRAR? Does it offer anything more than 7-zip?
Yes, many people in an office environment. Just habit like the Total Commander :|
Back in the time, it offered much better compression ratio than popular (Win)Zip. And it has SFX feature.
For people compressing things a lot, winrar is much more productive than 7z. I can easily set up default profile in winrar (best compression quality + delete files after archiving) but can't do this with 7z
tar with pigz for compressiom is a lifesaver for large archives.
