StuffIt Expander is no longer included with Apple in the OS X install.  
If you need it, you have to download it yourself.

Apple's not giving up on Firewire.  It does have speed advantages over 
USB2 for video and hard drive access.

Apple does disk images for the own software distribution and I think OS 
X can handle .zip, .tar, .tar.gz and a few others that developers use.  
I've even see .dmg.gz which is a gzipped disk image.
