This!

I used winrar at first, but never truly trusted 7zip. Didn't like the way it looked. Then first time I learned about ninite, I saw peazip and never looked back.

With the soon to be supported .rar on windows 11 I might do away with it but I feel peazip works faster.

The built in zip support in windows is super slow. I wonder if they will improve it when rar support comes.
