I agree, but I would also say that ZIP is the de-facto standard that is supported by all Operating Systems. And why build up something where you can choose between zip, arj, rar, gz, bz2 when practically all do the same and just one is needed?
Because most of the others are able to compress/uncompress faster and smaller. Because there is greater support in most of the web products for gzip/bzip - not to mention the fact that the most frequently used/ installed web server (Apache) can compress web communication on-the-fly. Did I mention that PHP supports gzip out-of-the-box? :)
Sorry, couldn't resist. :)
Hehe.... ;-)
Yeah, well, of course we want to cater the majority. Even if it's a pain, and *my* OS does all of the above.
But, yeah - zip.
