While I agree, I'm not sure why this thread was started ...

Perhaps because I mentioned 7-Zip in another thread as being able to
open a file that Vista and Mac OS's GUI unzip failed to open.

In any case 7-Zip for Windows and The Unarchiver for Mac OS provide
more useful (GUI) features than the built-in GUI tools, and this is
the reason to use them - not the 7z file compression method.

Cheers,
Nick.
