The central directory is a great feature of zip. Makes it easy to append to and to list the files or decompress individual files without decompressing the entire archive.
The actual horrible thing about zip is that there is no standard whatsoever for the encoding of filenames. So mangled filenames are common and most utilities don't even let you manually select the encoding if you know what it is.
