I remember RAR being popular in the early 00's but when 7-zip started becoming a thing I switched to that, and then I rarely saw .RAR's. RAR seemed to handle large collections of files better on Windows than .zip back in the day, and it had a few features that .zip didn't, so it was something I typically installed on like Windows XP and such back then. But I'm not sure why anyone would use it over 7-zip today unless you have massive numbers of old .RAR files laying around. I did work for a company that actually licensed WinZip because it was easier to use than the default Windows interface for .zip files.
