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).
