If you use Stuffit Expander for decompressing archives on your Mac, then you'll probably like StuffIt (formerly Stuffit Standard) which is the most widely used archive utility on Mac. Although there are now several other options out there, StuffIt has certainly been around as long as any and is a powerful tool for anyone that works with multiple file formats.

We tested StuffIt Expander on a number of archive files created by several methods on different machines. While the app worked fine with ZIP and ZIPX files, we did have occasional problems with RAR files, some of which StuffIt Expander simply couldn't open properly. Whether this will be fixed shortly or not remains to be seen. Since Mac OS X includes an Archive utility, the real reason users would want a supplemental tool is for RAR and other archives not supported by the included Archive app. Unfortunately, because of these problems opening RAR files, we uninstalled this app.
