Even *in addition* to all of that, the built-in windows support for zip is
*extremely* dummy^H^H^H^H^Haverage-Joe -oriented. Page after page of
hand-holding "wizard" *just* to "extract here"? I can't imagine any
programmer or power user even being capable of putting up with that for more
than a few days before finally just grabbing WinRAR, etc. And I'm not just
speculating: Honestly, I've never even known *one* programmer or power user
who actually used Windows's built-in zip support.
IIRC it's possible to just open the ZIP archive as a regular folder with
the built-in support.
