I can't stop wondering (sincerely, not for a "holywar" sake or anything) why we still use tar.whatever today, when ~99% of us have never seen a tape drive.
.tar.gz felt such a wild step backwards after 7z when I switched from Windows to Linux. Why can't we just introduce links and access rights metadata to 7z or something and use a modern, feature-rich archive format which wouldn't require you to decompress everything just to get a clue if there is a particularly named file in there?
