The user interface sucks big time, but then you can't deny that it compresses up to 30% smaller than WinZip sometimes... :)

Yes, I fully agree. But I suppose or hope (:)) that this will change in the future (near or far). Personally, I also appreciate the LZMA SDK.

7zip is bascially the best compression around. A tarball with 7zip can be 50% smaller than a gziped or bzip2ed one. The only downside is the increase in compression and decompression time. You will also see much better compression ratios when you larger data sizes. This discussion on 7zip here.

There is room for a wx7Zip, open-source & multi-platform, supporting every kind of popular format (7z, zip, tar, gz, bz2, rar). :)
Too bad there is something called human resources :(
