How could 7zip get any easier? Right click a file, and either pick compress or extract, whichever you want to do.
 
Out of all the .zip alternatives, .rar seems to have the greatest acceptance. Since I compress files often I have to still use winrar.
 
7zip:
Can't set defaults
Can't create separate archive for each file selected
No recovery record

Winrar:
slower multithreading


Winner: Winrar

with regard to separate archive, you can with CLI scripting.

for i in ~; do 7zip such and such.

oh wait, that's bash. can still do it with cygwin! can probably do it with batch files too, tho i know not how.
