For a compression format? I’d say it’s still relevant. Compression ratio and speed are the only meaningful metrics. And I’m not saying winrars still the best, clearly 7z has taken over in that regard. But for it’s own niche use case from years back it was clearly the better product.
Winrar definitely compresses better than zip. At least based on my experience.
