A co-worker of mine mentioned how much he liked PeaZip, but, after seeing him show it off, I didn't find it to be any more useful than 7-Zip, and I found the interface to be pretty awful, so I never bothered with it. I only used the program briefly when a older version of 7-Zip had a bug unpacking tarballs, but, with the bug fixed, I no longer use it.
