    #7Z intends to better the default 7-Zip GUI in the ways mentioned in the description section, above the screenshot.

    In general, few would argue that the '7z' compression format is better than 'RAR' in an overall sense, not to mention that it's OSS.

    Creating a GUI for something that already has a GUI.. am I missing something? Last time I checked, people submitted feature requests for this sort of thing. Save yourself the download and just stick to the original 7-Zip, or else use something like IZArc (http://www.izarc.org/) which supports far more archive formats and has more features.

    7Z does not support data recovery, RAR does. Yes, I have had to use it, and I was awfully glad I was using RAR and not 7Z.

    I didn't really find this much more useful than 7-Zip's already existing GUI.

    #7Z originated as Q7Z for Linux. I merely ported it to Windows as an afterthought.

    I don't know why you'd bother using 'rar', when '7z' is clearly a superior compression format.

    You might not realise that #7Z has other features, such as compression profiles and lists.
