stuffit explorer... why?

just out of interest, a lot of people use stuffit (EDIT: dont know why i wrote explorer in the thread title) - anyway, i thought macs could work with zips out of the box? so why the need for a third party app?

For file format other than zip

Personally I use the unarchiver, I've never liked stuffit.

I use Stuffit for it's support of other zips like RAR, SITX e.t.c

iirc, OS X don't come with anything to unzip RARs...

Nor does Windows.

But, UnRarX is good anyway.
