Poll Are you using WinRAR in 2023?

[Ink]

Are you using WinRAR or an alternative?

 

[Numeriku]

Im using 7zip

 

[brambedkar59]

I have never used Winrar from the moment I knew about 7-zip.

 

[TairikuOkami]

I would be willing to buy it, but $30 for one feature I want seems to be a bit excessive. Free alternatives lacks in features like creating SFX archive with a custom path.

 

[Inzingor]

I use Ashampoo ZIP Pro 4

 

[RoboMan]

I haven't used WinRAR since I learned about 7-Zip. So, nope.

 

[Minimalist]

I'm using Total Commander's built in packers so I have no need for Winrar or similar tool.

 

[Morro]

I am using the latest version of PeaZip.

 

[enaph]

I had to answer with "no" since there's no Mac version of WinRAR.
Otherwise I would be using it since I have a paid license for WinRAR for Windows

 

[DJ Stylbator]

Yes.
I use WinRaR from 2006-2008 until these days

 

[flaubert1971]

No, i use bandzip professional

 

[Kongo]

Still WinRAR without any license

 

[Pat MacKnife]

7zip and Bandizip.

 

[blackTears]

Yes, with my Lifetime-Licence.

 

[The_King]

I have both WinRAR and 7zip installed for archive compatibility reasons.

WinRAR gets the job done 99.9% of the time.

 

[HarborFront]

Windows has built-in 'WinRAR' feature now

I like it. For example, when I need to create an sfx archive, it's easier to do so compared to 7zip.

How? It literally takes one checkmark while creating an archive to make it a sfx archive in 7-zip. Is there a context menu shortcut for that in Winrar?
Edit: Grammar

There are other options for winrar. For example, if you want to create an sfx for multiple files, you can specify which file to "run after extraction" or "run before extraction". There are also more customization options for the extraction GUI, such as "Show all", "Hide all", "Hide start dialog". You can also make it "Extract to temporary folder". I don't remember 7zip having the ability to edit these.

Ahh, I thought you meant it was easier to create sfx archive lol. So, you get more options/customizations in Winrar while creating sfx archive and how it behaves while extracting.
