I've probably used every Windows IRC client out there, but this is certainly the best. Among other reasons: it's free, it's very fast and efficient (it uses very few system resources and can handle many/large channels), it hasn't crashed once in 10s of hours of use, the interface is well thought out and uses window panes that you can monitor constantly (unlike other IRC clients that popup multiple windows that only annoy you), it's highly configurable since the configuration file is open, etc. The only drawback is that it's incomplete software, but the more people that support it, the sooner it'll be improved, so I suggest you try it out!

TUGZip
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Great except for minor quirks  qright

TUGZip version 3.4.0.0
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I was looking for something fast (it handled an archive with 11000+ files with no problem) and powerful (shell integration and user interface) - but not bloated. I can stop looking, although keep in mind that I usually only extract from archives and don't make that many myself... There are some UI issues: no "parent directory" entry in the archive file list (i.e. ".."), no "back" button, "Repair Archive" doesn't use the archive currently open but expects you to find the file all over again, errors aren't reported consistently (e.g. try double clicking on a file in a broken archive)... And there is no "Keep broken files" option... But I'm sure this will improve with time.
