There has been a lot of public backlash against Stuffit, especially since Smith Micro took over the product. I keep a copy of Expander around to open legacy files but have moved on from the Stuffit format long ago.
What surprised me was finding that all of the feedback has recently been erased from VT on the Stuffit products. I guess CNet is OK with scrubbing user feedback when it reflects poorly on a product from a large company.

Abuse gone by glitch but I don't think Smith Micro did it - Ilgaz
I think it is a glitch in database since I have seen other software losing all reviews/comments on VT. It is not a conspiracy I think.Did you actually see the "reviews" you state? It was a massive abuse campaign, totally off topic stuff not related to EXPANDER.
What smith micro does is provide an unarchiver which works flawlessly, coded for native OS X frameworks and gives access to lots of archive formats which aren't natively handled by OS X. It is also clean software without any price tag on it.
The "reviews" were total joke, 1 star reviews for just saying "stuffit is dead!". What about the massive number of other formats it supports?
