idek if 7zip is better than winrar anymore assuming both are being updated constantly, but like... My memory is that pretty much every tech oriented person on windows uses 7zip.

I've heard some people recommending PeaZip over 7-Zip in recent years, but tbh I haven't actually tried it myself. I think I'll give it a spin for a few weeks and see how it goes.
PeaZip is aite but you have to beware some of its default options. For instance, it will expand files into a temp directory in your home folder. Big problem if you're trying to expand a large file onto a secondary big hard drive or a networked location b/c 1) you might run outta space and 2) it has to then transfer all the files when it's done expanding them.
You can change this behavior in the settings to make make the temp expansion directory the same as the target directory. IDK. PeaZip works fine but it also takes like 1s longer to start up than it should, IMO. Something about it feels slightly bloated.
