Which is an incredible effort, very few software have an interface more atrocious than 7zip.

The UI is the main reason I actually paid for a WinRAR license.

I don't use the interface, that's the thing. I just use the contextual menu - which is more than enough to operate it easily. If the windows version of it had the same, then I wouldn't mind at all.

Fair point.
