I admit 7zip is better and faster at compression/extraction but I choose Winrar because of its better usability

You can use ctrl-C and crtl-V in winrar but not in 7z
we can run an app with multiple files and database directly in winrar. Winrar will extract the whole folder while 7z only extracts 1 file => make that program crash

However, now I'm using bandizip which supports zone.identifier => compatible with windows smartscreen
