As a Mac owner for over three years now (my how the time flew by), I was never happy with my unzipping and zipping. For the longest time I simply used the default unzipping app for OSX, Archive Utility, or the Mac-approved StuffIt Expander. Problem is, I've found both apps to be buggy, and many times I would have to unzip a folder with the one app simply because it wouldn't work in the other. After getting frustrated enough with this two-punch combo, I decided to seek out something else, and I then found Unarchiver.
Unarchiver has two features that make it my favorite unzipper. First of all, it's free and unzips everything under the sun. Secondly, you can set it to send the zipped folder into the trash after you unzip it. Doesn't sound like much, but this one little feature has saved me all sorts of clicks and drags to the trashcan.
On the zipping side of the house, I use YemuZip. It's a barebones app that works just like you want it to - you drag a file, group of files, or a folder into the app, tell it what you want to call the zipped folder, and bam. There's not much else to it, but do you really need anything more than that?
