I don't understand why people keep pushing that format.
How selfish of them.
However it's a non standard format so I have to hunt around for what the CLI tool is called, then install it, the look up the options...
Sure that's not a huge amount of work, but it just seems preposterous. Like using some 'gopher 2.0' protocol instead of http.
OS X and Linux have p7zip. And package managers.
It's not rocket science.
Compressing a directory is a solved problem with standard solutions. You really should have a reason to push something like 7zip.
If you're running KDE (and I think GNOME), the built-in GUI de-compressors handle 7-zip just fine.

shrug 7-Zip compresses at least as well as RAR, and doesn't have a file format that permits feeding executable bytecode to a probably-not-very-well-examined bytecode interpreter. [0]

You do on some OSs.

I know, googling "7zip OS X" and seeing that the first link ends up directing you to p7zip, is incredibly hard.

How about, it has the best compression available from an open-source compressor. RAR is not open-source.
