Who would even create rar archives these days, when there is 7zip?

People using WinRAR. “Why would people use WinRAR?” It has more features than 7zip (password, encryption, profile presets especially).

Eh? 7zip supports these.
profile presets
I have to admit, I’m not familiar with this feature.
vanontom@lemmy.world 1 year ago
What I mean is more options for those features. The profiles and password tools are especially clever. (Examples: Password organizer can be locked with short master password, great for quickly decrypting archives matching ANY stored password. Profiles can quickly encrypt using specific settings, including super-long saved password without entering it.)

Ah, I see what you mean. 7zip’s password support looks pretty simple in comparison.

But that’s WinRAR not rar file format, no?

Memesters, because WinRAR is a negware type of shareware (having an unlimited trial period), which constitutes as being "the good guy".
TheWildTangler@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Okay but 7zip can open and create .rar archives so why would anyone ever use WinRAR

Don't try to understand memesters. I once installed one 7zip instead of WinRAR, and he installed the latter because "it's free, you just have to click the button and wait a little bit". It was even worse with the uTorrent vs. qBitTorrent situation, where the former is a de-facto spyware/adware, but the latter isn't in piracy memes.
