Zipware can compress as ZIP, 7Z & EXE. Can encrypt as AES-256 & ZipCrypto. Has a neat Explorer integration. Has a nice modern-looking UI. Instantly extracts and compresses from the mouse menu. Will do for an average user.

Dunno what other is, but assuming you can probably add anything. Its so simple and easy to use. Its unfortunate that its been discontinued, but hey, what are they going to do, you can't improve on perfection :P
