I used Stuffit Deluxe in its various incarnations before, paying for updates regularly. I got fed up in the end with the bloatware. This program is very good, quick and straight forward to use. It can handle all files I have thrown at it, I can turn off archives I don't want the program to open. I am quite pleased with it and bought the license very quickly after trying it. RGK
Nice Update!

With this version I’ve made iArchiver my default (one and only) archive manager. The new icons are much better than the old ones. It may sound silly, but the new icons sealed the deal for me.
I own several other archive managers and my reasoning for using iArchiver over the others are as follows:
1. Simplicity - double click simple
2. Function - you can migrate/convert archive types with drag and drop ease
3. It Just Works - like a Mac app should, transparent and seamless
4. Full Featured - I still have to take it through its paces with segmented rar files, but it supports most of the formats you’ll come across
5. Price - I bought it on a promo deal (MacUpdate or MacZot, I can’t remember); even at its full price its very reasonable for what it does.
About the only thing I could ask for in a future release would be CD/DVD burning support and the ability to compress and segment files for the purposes of CD/DVD burning (like Toast will do for files/folders).

i have switched from using windows 2 years ago and i am used to simple archiving applications such as WinRAR that just simply 'does the job'.
on the mac platform however, it seems impossible for software developers to come up with a decent piece of software that does just that. maybe mac programmers are too creative, i don't know. i've been looking for the ultimate app eversince and still haven't found the perfect soulmate, maybe it's the lack of native commandline apps that limits the makers, maybe its a license/rights issue.
anyway, closest to perfect so far seems to be iArchiver, and i've tried a bunch; stuffit: crap, stay away from my mac! / unarchiver: love it but has certain annoyances / betterzip: interface pisses me off / unrarx: too specialised and therefor incomplete for the most common tasks.
the things at which iArchiver excells are simple to point out:
1. It can compress and decompress!
2. it supports a shitload of filetypes for decompression! (zip/sit/rar/ace/7z/ and more...)
3. it even looks nice, like a mac app, actually.
