I've been using WinRAR for multiple decades and it works well. I'm not about to rearchive all my stuff with a new format so of course I still use it regularly. If I were a new computer user I might choose something else as I certainly experimented with various tools back in 2000. WinAce comes to mind as a decent competitor of the time.

I believe 7-Zip can open RAR archives.

  7-Zip's GUI is very lacking, at least on Windows it doesn't have the basic feature of opening the folder where you extracted the files automatically

    Use Peazip then.

      ... Or just stick with WinRAR, which works better than both of those, and is still supported?

        And is closed source with an annoying pop up on every startup.

  Was just going to mention 7-Zip after reading GP post, then read yours. Yes. I've used 7-Zip some, earlier, and found it to be quite good. IIRC, from both command-line and GUI.

    And IIRC the command-line options were like tar; they could be typed without a leading hyphen.
