But if you really care about minor increases in compression effectiveness, then surely that is irrelevant.

Of course. Being free is an advantage, if the rest is acceptable. Not to say that paying a developer for its work is bad, if his work is what we prefer, on the other hand.

True, true, and I am totally cool with donating for various FLOSS projects I really appreciate. If Winrar had significant advantages over the free alternatives, I would pay for it, since it doesn't (and on general principle I hate any program that would have anything to do with ads -- or evil toolbars -- no matter what else it might bring to the table) I would only pay for it by means of "donations to FLOSS projects" which it isn't.

I'm thinking what I could write about that is even more off topic, but nothing comes to my mind, so I will stop here.
