7-zip.

It's fascinating to me that people prefer shitty nagware over 7-zip only because they think they're "getting one over" by not paying for inferior software and/or feel nostalgic for it.

Back when?

[–] cley_faye 3 points 1 week ago

For a good while, the UI in 7-Zip was so atrocious merely extracting an existing archive was not obvious. It definitely improved over that.

I'd argue that even today, WinRAR UI is more intuitive than 7-Zip, but it is largely irrelevant since both have decent integration with windows file explorer anyway, which was also something 7-Zip lacked for a while.

Probably 10-15 years ago or something

I hate having to find my key when I get a new computer. I know there are alternatives but I paid for it, I want it.
