    My god (of which there is none, it's rhetorical of course) the bugs upon bugs upon bugs. I've had to go back to WinRAR because it is quicker and has a more solid, quality feel to it. I love PA's features but come on... I should not have to report a bug or two per week.

    Beautiful, modern interface that is unmatched by any other archive utility at any price & unlike a previous reviewer's experience I use it all day every day & I haven't run into any bugs, but that may just be my usage patterns. 99% of what I do is unarchive & test archives.

    I'm a proud owner of the professional version that I bought at a discounted price & I feel like I stole the software.

    luluz, if you still want the classic toolbar you can go into the options and turn off the modern interface if you wish & the interface from days of old will be back.

    Very nice compression utility, handy, intuitive and well endowed of useful features.
    I like its look&feed, even if (as long time PowerArchiver user) I'm a bit nostalgic of the old non Ribbon-like toolbar.
    It's just because I cannot make myself like Ribbon toolbars, but I must admit the new toolbar is efficient and rational as the old one.

    Did I actually give this a 5? Wow. Must've been drunk and happy that day.

    I really tried to make a go of it with PowerArchiver. But as with so many times in the past, its innumerable bugs have driven me away. It's nonstop. Minor bugs, annoying bugs, serious bugs. Constantly. It's neverending.

    I love the feature set but I just can't take it anymore.
