I haven’t tried it yet so if anybody has anybody feedback on it feel free to chime in.

I have used it and it’s very good, specially because it’s free and open. The desktop/explorer integration is very useful too.

I didn’t know it was supporting RAR now, last time I checked it only supported ZIP and 7-Zip. Maybe I’ll go back to it now and quit using WinRAR.
