7zip is just so far superior in every way, it's crazy people use anything else imo.

Better compression, password protected files, better speeds. So many features.

Peazip is also good for the same reasons 7zip is.

Lots of other software makes use of 7zip, because it's open source and free and you don't need to pay to be allowed to integrate it into your own software
