I use Windows' built-in zip support more often than not, but 7zip is still handy as a "debug tool" when Windows gives up on a zip, or when I know a file is a zip but has a different extension and for whatever reason I don't want to rename it in that moment (skim something out of a DOCX file, for instance). Also, a common gesture I use is 7zip's extensions to the right-click drag file operation. I can select an entire collection of zip files right-click drag it to a different folder and "Extract to *\" which decompresses all the files into a set of folders (under the folder you are dragging into) using the names of the zip files as the folder names (minus the extension). This is a useful and surprisingly common operation. (For instance, downloading a bunch of Bandcamp albums on a Bandcamp Friday and decompressing them all at once to a music library folder.)
